Histogram illustrating lactate fluxes across different regional beds in the endotoxemic dog. A negative value indicates removal/uptake, and a positive value indicates release. At baseline, there is lactate removal by the kidney. Lactate removal continues after the induction of endotoxemia. Reproduced from [11] with permission.
