Aerobic lactate production by mammary tissue.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Glucose uptake and L-lactate production were measured in cell, slice and intact tissue preparations of mammary glands from late-pregnant and lactating rats. The tissues showed extensive conversion of glucose into lactate in vitro, but not in vivo. Therefore aerobic lactate formation is not a normal feature of mammary tissue, but occurs in vitro as the result of some metabolic derangement.
