A cell emits lactic acid and free radicals when it isn't getting everything it needs, such as oxygen and glucose 1 0 2Breathing pure oxygen lowers the oxygen content of tissues 1 0 2Breathing rarefied air or air with carbon dioxide oxygenates and energizes the tissues 1 0 1Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid 1 0 2Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide 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 2
