The fact that it was high would probably indicate that your lactate will be increasing shortly. Your high pyruvate in relationship to lactate is what makes the ratio low. These numbers change a lot. Don't always have to be high. Are often increased due to stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
