A cell emits lactic acid and free radicals when it isn't getting everything it needs, such as oxygen and glucose 1 0 2Hyperventilation is similar to being in the presence of too much oxygen 1 0 2Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide 1 0 2Carbon dioxide deficiency makes breathing more difficult in pure oxygen, impairs the heart’s ability to work, and increases the resistance of blood vessels, impairing circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues 1 0 2Carbon dioxide inhibits the production of lactic acid, and lactic acid lowers carbon dioxide's concentration in a variety of ways 1 0 2When carbon dioxide production is low due to hypothyroidism, there will usually be some lactate entering the blood even at rest 1 0 2The excess production of lactate displaces carbon dioxide from the blood, partly as a compensation for acidity 1 0 2Activity increases the need for oxygen, and also increases the tendency to accumulate lactic acid 1 0 2The lactic acid has to be disposed of, but their ability to extract oxygen is reduced 1 0 2Lactic acid triggers the defensive reactions of the organism, leading to tissue wasting from excessive glucocorticoid hormone 1 0 2
