Absorption and fate of L- and D-lactic acid in ruminants.

Lactic acid is produced in significant amounts in the rumen on rations rich in easily digestible carbohydrates such as starch and sugars. If high amounts of concentrates, containing starch and sugars, are fed to high lactating dairy cows, lactic acid concentrations in rumen fluid up to 80 mmol/l can be found. If such high concentrations of lactic acid are consistent during longer periods of time, rumen acidosis may arise, causing disfunction and necrosis of rumen epithelium.

Lactate transport across the bovine rumen epithelium in vitro.

The in vitro transport of L-lactate across rumen epithelium was found to be a passive, mass-action regulated diffusion, and no saturable transport mechanisms were involved at concentrations from 2-20 mmol/L. During this increase in L-lactate concentrations the epithelial resistance and potential difference increased significantly, indicating an epithelial change towards a more tight epithelium. The net sodium transport was significantly reduced by 45% at 20 mmol/L lactate as compared to lactate free conditions.

Genetic polymorphism of the vitamin D binding protein (Gc protein) in pig plasma determined by agarose isoelectrofocusing.

Genetic polymorphism of the pig plasma vitamin D binding protein Gc was demonstrated by agarose isoelectrofocusing followed by either autoradiography or immunofixation with specific human Gc antiserum. Three different types F, FS and S were observed. Family data supported the genetic theory that the Gc types are controlled by two autosomal codominant alleles GcF and GcS. Both alleles are present in Yorkshire and Duroc. In Danish Landrace and Hampshire only the GcF allele was observed.
