A mathematical study of the interaction between oxygen and lactate in an in-vivo and in-vitro tumor
Micro-environmental acidity is a common feature of the tumor. One of the causes behind tumor acidity is lactate production by hypoxic cells of the tumor. Hypoxia is a direct result of the establishment of oxygen gradients. It is commonly observed in the tumor in an in-vitro experimental setup and also in-vivo situation. Here, we propose a mathematical model to analyses the production of lactate by hypoxic cells, and it is used as an alternative fuel by normoxic cells in tumor tissue in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. In this article, we study the effects of unequal oxygen concentration at the tumor boundaries on lactate status in the tumor. The effects of presence of the necrotic core in the tumor on the lactate concentration profile is examined. The results have good agreement with experimental data and align with the theoretical findings of previous studies. The analytical results show that lactate levels are elevated in an in-vivo tumor compared to that in an in-vitro tumor. Also, during the onset of necrotic core formation, the effects of necrotic core on lactate levels are noticed. Knowledge of the lactate status in a patient's tumor may be helpful in choosing the rightful and precious medicines for cancer treatment.

A mathematical study of the influence of hypoxia and acidity on the evolutionary dynamics of cancer
Hypoxia and acidity act as environmental stressors promoting selection for cancer cells with a more aggressive phenotype. As a result, a deeper theoretical understanding of the spatio-temporal processes that drive the ad…
Prediction of Blood Lactate Values in Critically Ill Patients: A Retrospective Multi-center Cohort Study
Purpose. Elevations in initially obtained serum lactate levels are strong predictors of mortality in critically ill patients. Identifying patients whose serum lactate levels are more likely to increase can alert physicia…
