lactate
Lactate, also known as lactic acid, is a chemical compound produced by various cells, particularly muscle cells, during anaerobic respiration, a process that occurs when oxygen levels in the body are low. It can be used as a source of energy by the body and is also involved in several biochemical processes. In medical context, high levels of lactate in the blood can be an indicator of lack of oxygen or other problems in the body.
