Excretion of D-Lactic Acid by Humans

Abstract
Normal humans excrete the unnatural isomer of D-lactic acid. When measured microbiologically the values average 0.08 ± 0.046 µmoles per ml and 102.9 ± 50 µmoles per 24 hours. The values are not significantly altered in a variety of diseases and are only moderately raised by exercise.
