Lactic acid is an important molecule in cellular respiration, glucose production, regulation of inflammation, and molecular signaling. Under anaerobic conditions, glucose (and more specifically, pyruvate) is converted into lactic acid in order to produce energy for the cells.

Take a ALLERGY, POTATO Test or Take a CD14 (Monocytic Cell Marker) Test
