Dietary Lactic Acid Metabolism

How does the body process dietary lactic acid in yogurt or sauerkraut.
Is it treated as a fat or carbohydrate? Is it broken down in the
intestine before absorption or is it absorbed unaltered? Does the
liver convert it to glucose or fats? Thx

I It is not a fat or fatty acid in which lipases act upon it and it is not
broken down through beta oxidation to create ketone bodies. It is not a
carbohydrate as they are not acids. It is more of a TCA acid.
The acid portion of lactic acid is absorbed or not based on acid-base
considerations. Excess acid is eliminated via the lungs as CO2 and in the
urine.
The lactate anion portion of the acid or the salt portion is accepted into
the TCA cycle in which it will eventually be eliminated as CO2.
The absorption process through the GI tract is not really a big active thing
as most lactic acid is a metabolic byproduct resulting from the anaerobic
process. In the muscle when too much lactate is produced it is sent to the
liver which converts it to glucose also known as the Cori cycle.
2 lactate plus 6 ATP goes to glucose plus 6 ADP plus 6 Pi.
It enters the citric acid cycle through the action by lactate dehydrogenase.
lactate plus NAD goes to pyruvate plus NADH plus H

gluconeogenesis is an energy requiring process so it is only used when not
enough glucose is available.
In short the body, and many tissues can utilize lactate but for any active
absorption by the gut often requires energy and often through Na dependent
secondary active transport process.
"The capacity of the small intestine to absorb large amount of free sugars
is enormous. It has been estimated that hexose's equivalent to 22 pounds of
sucrose could be absorbed daily. There appears to be little physiological
control of sugar absorption. However, chemoreceptors and osmoreceptors in
the proximal small intestine control the motility and emptying of the
stomach through a negative feedback process medicated by hormones and neural
reflexes. As an example, a volume of isotonic citrate solution of 750 ml
placed in the stomach passes into the small bowel in 20 minutes. The volume
delivered in the same time is reduced if sucrose or glucose is added to the
citrate solution. The amount delivered is related inversely to the sugar
concentration."
The above gives you a good idea about passive lactate, related to citrate
(TCA), absorption in relation to active absorption.

B-0b1 he Lactose is a sugar derived from milk. C12 H22 O11.
which on hydrolisis yields Glucose and galactose. Glucose is the
stuff
of all flesh, be it skin or cartialge. It is catalysed within the
body by the
KREB'S cycle whic needs CALCIUM as a catalyst itself. SO..MILK
is a balanced Trio of Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus..the MAJICK

TRiO for Bones and flesh. If you do NOT get enough of same, you
awaken
at night with leg cramps. The ONLY Alligator in the pond here though
is the
LARGE enzyme in Cows Milk which when left alone is so large it goes
right
through you with NO HARM DONE..However when this "X-0" enzyme is
"micronized" by HOMOGENIZATION, Cow's MILK become a deadly poison!
Over 1 million autopsies do NOT Lie.

The ONLY way any of us can STOP
this NONSENSE is to write BOTH your Congressmen AND the damned Dairies
that supply your milk in any given area, THEIR hands are tied by UNCLE
who wants
to promote ill heath and DEATH as much as possible! My personal
solution is too
violent however to be practical LOL! SO I buy powdered MILK and make
my OWN.
SANALAC is the BEST on the market...OR you can make Milk SAFE by doing
the FOLLOWING:

Bring the milk you buy up to a simmer for about 10 to 20
minutes and stop just as the first BOIL starts, The let it cool over
night, In the
Morning you will find tis nasty looking "PANCAKE" on top. Filter it and
its
associated crumbs OUT of the milk and cool it. You will experience a
nice
tasting and longer lasting product as well. HEALTH is but a "PROCEDURE"
away!
Its UP to YOU..No one will do it for you!! "WIC" is a murdering bunch
of *******s and
the yearly "SIDS" count shows it!! Ask my second daughter who's been
buried now for
38 yrs. She appeared to e and was VERY angry,,,I did not blame her as
her parents were
too ignorant at the time to save her. At least 3 more have made it OK
once we learned
WHAT it was that killed her! DAMN the Political regime under which we
struggle! B-0b1

Lactic Acid is a complex SUGAR...it is treated the same as any other. B-0b1

B-Ob1 - where have you been all my life, while I awaited this insight?
Wherever it was, please go back there.

You don't even know the difference between lactic acid and lactose. The
rest is funny and I am out of here

Sugars have more than one hydroxyl group and don't have any carboxylic acid
(-COOH) groups. Lactic acid has one hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid
group.

I don't know about that... I've gotten kicked out of stores for
laughing too much.

AHHHH..we have a DUMB**** TROLL amoung US??? I'd bet you **** your

What was funny - the prices, the goods or the staff?

I suppose it may hurt trade in a store if you're rolling around the
floor cackling uncontrollably.

I just noticed a trailer on a TV documentary about an Indian (as in
sub-continent) guy who has started up "laughing" clubs all over the
place. Must watch it if I get the time.
