Once thought to be the consequence of oxygen lack in contracting skeletal muscle, the glycolytic product lactate is formed and utilised continuously under fully aerobic conditions. 'Cell-cell' and 'intracellular lactate shuttle' concepts describe the roles of lactate in delivery of oxidative and gluconeogenic substrates as well as in cell signalling. Examples of cell-cell shuttles include lactate exchanges (i) between white-glycolytic and red-oxidative fibres within a working muscle bed; (ii) between working skeletal muscle and heart; and (iii) between tissues of net lactate release and gluconeogenesis. Lactate shuttles exist in diverse tissues including in the brain, where a shuttle between astrocytes and neurons is linked to glutamatergic signalling. Because lactate, the product of glycogenolysis and glycolysis, is disposed of by oxidative metabolism, lactate shuttling unites the two major processes of cellular energy transduction. Lactate disposal is mainly through oxidation, especially during exercise when oxidation accounts for 70-75% of removal and gluconeogenesis the remainder. Lactate flux occurs down proton and concentration gradients that are established by the mitochondrial lactate oxidation complex. Marathon running is a power activity requiring high glycolytic and oxidative fluxes; such activities require lactate shuttling. Knowledge of the lactate shuttle is yet to be imparted to the sport.[1]

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Calcium must be absorbed in its free, dissolved form (Ca2+) or bound to soluble organic molecules. Due to the acidic pH and abundant calcium-binding proteins in the duodenum and proximal jejunum, calcium absorption primarily occurs in these sites. The small intestine absorbs approximately 25% (range 10%–40%) of the calcium intake on average, via passive diffusion and active transport. Following oral administration of up to 3000 mg of lactate in human volunteers, 20%–30% of the lactate dose is excreted in the urine within 14 hours. Most (99%) of absorbed calcium is stored in bones and teeth to maintain their structural integrity. Pharmacokinetic data are currently unavailable. Metabolism/Metabolites During hepatic gluconeogenesis, lactate is converted to glucose. Lactic acid can be further metabolized in the lactate cycle. Rumen ingestion from dairy cows fed daily 2.5 liters of grain-alfalfa hay mixture (containing 545 g of sodium lactate and calcium lactate) was incubated with sodium lactate or polylactic acid (PLA). Acetic acid was the major end product, but the oxidation of lactic acid led to the synthesis of butyric acid from acetic acid. Biological half-life Pharmacokinetic data are not available. |

| Additional Infomation |
Calcium lactate is a salt composed of two lactate anions and one calcium ion (Ca2+). It is produced by neutralizing lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. Calcium lactate is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a direct food ingredient, is recognized as safe, and can be used as a thickener, flavoring agent, leavening agent, stabilizer, and preservative. Calcium lactate is also found as a source of calcium in daily dietary supplements. It exists in several hydrated forms, with pentahydrate calcium lactate being the most common. Pharmaceutical Indications: Suitable as a nutritional supplement. Mechanism of Action: In a aqueous environment such as the gastrointestinal tract, calcium lactate dissociates into calcium ions and lactate anions (the conjugate base of lactic acid). Lactic acid is a naturally occurring compound that is ubiquitous in the metabolic pathways of mammals, acting as a fuel or energy source. Lactic acid diffuses through muscles and is transported to the liver via the bloodstream to participate in gluconeogenesis.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
