A cell emits lactic acid and free radicals when it isn't getting everything it needs, such as oxygen and glucose 1 0 2The formation of lactic acid tends to coordinate these effects 1 0 2Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid 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 loss of carbon dioxide from the lungs in the presence of high oxygen pressure increases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, and restricts its delivery to the tissues 1 0 2The lactic acid has to be disposed of, but their ability to extract oxygen is reduced 1 0 2The presence of lactic acid interferes with energy metabolism in ways that tend to be self-promoting 1 0 2Blocking the production of lactic acid can make cells more resistant 1 0 2
