lactic acid
(physiol. chem.), a sirupy, colorless fluid, soluble in water, with an intensely sour taste and strong acid reaction. there are at least three isomeric modifications all having the formula c3h6o3. sarcolactic or paralactic acid occurs chiefly in dead muscle tissue, while ordinary lactic acid results from fermentation. the two acids are alike in having the same constitution (expressed by the name ethylidene lactic acid), but the latter is optically inactive, while sarcolactic acid rotates the plane of polarization to the right. the third acid, ethylene lactic acid, accompanies sarcolactic acid in the juice of flesh, and is optically inactive...

lactic acid
a byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism (anaerobic metabolism) that plays a role in several biochemical processes; produced (for example) as a result of anaerobic respiration in muscles and red blood cells when glycogen rather than oxygen is used as an energy source for respiration.

lactic acid
Organic acid normally present in muscle tissue, produced by anaerobic muscle metabolism as a by-product of exercise. An increase in lactic acid causes muscle fatigue, inflammation and pain.

Lactic acid
Lactic acid (IUPAC systematic name: 2-hydroxypropanoic acid), also known as milk acid, is a chemical compound that plays a role in several biochemical processes. It was first isolated in 1780 by a Swedish chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, and is a carboxylic acid with a chemical formula of C3H6O3. It has a hydroxyl group adjacent to the carboxyl group, making it an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). In solution, it can lose a proton from the acidic group, producing the lactate ion CH3CH(OH)COO−. It is miscible with water or ethanol, and is hygroscopic.
