lactate/pyruvate interpretation

[Guest guest]

RH thanks for your clarification of the lactate/pyruvate ratio. I

have been trying to find information on it since I got my test results

back. I asked Dr. Enns about the ratio, but I guess he is one that

doesn't believe that it makes a difference. All he told me is that

all my tests were normal. Which I don't understand since my pyruvate

level is very low. According to the formula you gave. My test results

are: 1.2/0.01 = 120. That is definately WAY over 20. But my lactic

acid is within normal range. Do you know of any papers that have been

written on this? My citiric acid levels were also low. I did some

research on this and found out that " low citric acid may be due to

impaired function of the Krebs cycle which is also indicated by

extremely high succinic acid. " You about need a doctorate in chemistry

to figure this all out.

Thanks
