Lactic acid concentration in peritoneal fluid of normal and diseased horses. 1977

J N Moore, and D S Traver, and M F Turner, and F J White, and J G Huesgen, and T S Butera

Peritoneal fluid from each of 15 clinically healthy horses and five horses with acute abdominal disease was evaluated for lactic acid concentration. The normal range was 2-7--13-4 mg/dl. Simultaneous blood and peritoneal fluid samples from healthy horses revealed consistently lower lactic acid concentrations in the peritoneal fluid than in the blood, whereas peritoneal fluid lactic acid levels were consistently greater than blood levels in the diseased horses. The diseased horses had highly significant (P less than 0-005) increases in both blood and peritoneal fluid lactic acid concentrations compared with those in healthy horses.
