Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We hypothesized that the increased exercise arterial lactate concentration on arrival at high altitude and the subsequent decrease with acclimatization were caused by changes in blood lactate flux. Seven healthy men [age 23 +/- 2 (SE) yr, wt 72.2 +/- 1.6 kg] on a controlled diet were studied in the postabsorptive condition at sea level, on acute exposure to 4,300 m, and after 3 wk of acclimatization to 4,300 m. Subjects received a primed-continuous infusion of [6,6-2D]glucose (Brooks et al. J. Appl. Physiol. 70:919-927, 1991) and [3-13C]lactate and rested for a minimum of 90 min followed immediately by 45 min of exercise at 101 +/- 3 W, which elicited 51.1 +/- 1% of the sea level peak O2 consumption (VO2peak; 65 +/- 2% of both acute altitude and acclimatization). During rest at sea level, lactate appearance rate (Ra) was 0.52 +/- 0.03 mg.kg-1.min-1; this increased sixfold during exercise to 3.24 +/- 0.19 mg.kg-1.min-1. On acute exposure, resting lactate Ra rose from sea level values to 2.2 +/- 0.2 mg.kg-1.min-1. During exercise on acute exposure, lactate Ra rose to 18.6 +/- 2.9 mg.kg-1.min-1. Resting lactate Ra after acclimatization (1.77 +/- 0.25 mg.kg-1.min-1) was intermediate between sea level and acute exposure values. During exercise after acclimatization, lactate Ra (9.2 +/- 0.7 mg.kg-1.min-1) rose from resting values but was intermediate between sea level and acute exposure values. The increased exercise arterial lactate concentration response on arrival at high altitude and subsequent decrease with acclimatization are due to changes in blood lactate appearance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
