Khilazheva et al used Lactate assay kit ab65330 with mouse hippocampal homogenates as part of analysis of the phenotype of an NLRP3 KO mouse.

Determination of lactate levels in the hippocampal homogenates obtained from adult (5 months) and aged (14 months) mice of different genotypes : WT (wild-type mice (C57Bl/6)) and NLRP3 KO (knockout mice for the NLRP3 gene), nmol/µg of protein. **—p ≤ 0.01. n = 5 to 8 mice per group. Values are presented as M ± SEM. Lactate concentration in the hippocampus was analyzed using an enzymatic method followed by a colorimetric measurement.

Lactate concentration in the hippocampus was analyzed using an enzymatic method followed by a colorimetric measurement. A commercially available kit (L-Lactate Assay Kit, ab65330, Abcam, UK) was utilized for this purpose. The sensitivity of the kit is reported to be greater than 0.001 mM. Protein concentration measurements were determined using the Bio-Rad protein assay kit with bovine serum albumin as standards (Bio-Rad). The resulting protein concentrations were expressed in μg/μL. To calculate the concentration of lactate in each sample, the obtained values in nmol/μL were divided by the corresponding protein concentration. Consequently, the lactate concentration in the homogenate was presented as nmol/μg of protein.

Khilazheva et al used Lactate assay kit ab65330 and ATPase assay kit ab234055 to investigate how an inducible Slc4a11 KO mouse leads to corneal edema by disruption of the pump and barrier functions of the corneal endothelium (CE).

Changes in the pump function in the inducible Slc4a11 KO. Stomal lactate content; relative values versus control; mean ± SEM, n = 3, * : p < 0.05. Na+-K+ ATPase activity at 14 days of Tm treatment; mean ± SEM, n = 3 (Ctrl) and n = 5 (Tm), * : p < 0.05.

Stromal Lactate

Corneas were obtained, and the epithelium and endothelium were removed. Individual stromas were placed in pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes, pulverized in liquid nitrogen, and homogenized in 30 μL of PBS using a plastic disposable pestle. The sample was centrifuged at 15,000x g for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was recovered. The remaining pellet was dried at 60 °C in a vacuum centrifuge for two hours, then weighed (dry weight). Lactate was measured in the supernatant, n 3 for Ctrl and Tm, using a fluorescent kit (Abcam #ab65330, Cambridge, UK) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Na+-K+ ATPase Activity

Two corneal endothelial-Descemet membrane (CEDM) peelings from the same mouse were pooled and homogenized in 30 μL assay buffer, provided in the ATPase Assay kit (Abcam #ab234055), using a plastic disposable pestle. After sonication, the sample was centrifugated at 10,000x g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was recovered, and the phosphates in the sample were depleted by incubation in 40 μL of PiBind resin (Innova Biosciences #501-0015, Montluçon, France) for 15 min at room temperature in a rotary device. After centrifugation at 1000x g for two minutes, the sample was recovered, and ATPase activity was measured in 5 μL of sample in the presence or absence of 1 mM ouabain. Na+-K+ ATPase activity (n 3 for Ctrl and Tm) was obtained by subtracting the activity in presence of ouabain from the total activity. Protein was measured using the BCA method.

Carreno-Florez et al used Lactate assay kit ab65330 and Glucose assay kit ab65333 to investigate glycolytic flux and the Warburg effect in cultured human ΔF508/ΔF508 cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells (CFBE41o-, hereafter called CF AECs).

Glucose consumption in the basolateral medium of IFN-β-stimulated or influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-infected CF AECs measured by colorimetric assay. L-lactate concentration measured in apical secretions from CF AECs during IFN-β stimulation or RSV infection measured by colorimetric assay. For all experiments n ≥ 3. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.

Glucose consumption (Abcam, ab65333) and lactate secretion (Abcam, ab65330) were measured after 18 h of IFN-β stimulation or 72 h of RSV infection using colorimetric assays. Glucose consumption was determined by subtracting the glucose concentration in basolateral medium from the glucose concentration in the feeding medium. For lactate secretion, MEM without phenol red was added apically for 18 h during IFN-β stimulation or for the last 24 h of RSV infection and was collected to determine the extracellular lactate concentration.

Product details

L-Lactate Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) ab65330 provides a convenient means for detecting L(+)-Lactate in biological samples such as blood, cells, culture mediums, fermentation mediums, etc. There is no need for pretreatment or purification of samples.

How the assay works
In the lactate assay protocol, lactate specifically reacts with an enzyme mix to generate a product, which interacts with a lactate probe to produce color (570 nm) and fluorescence (at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm).

Lactate assay protocol summary

  • - Add samples (deproteinized) and standards to wells.
  • - Add reaction mix and incubate for 30 min at room temp.
  • - Analyze with microplate reader.

Alternative L-Lactate assay kits offer different readout modes/wavelengths and sensitivity/range:

  • - This kit L-Lactate assay ab65330: colorimetric 570 nm, fluorometric Ex/Em 535/587 nm, range 0.001 mM - 10 mM.
  • - Our most popular L-Lactate assay kit ab65331: colorimetric 450nm, range 0.02 mM - 10 mM.
  • - L-Lactate assay kit ab169557: fluorometric Ex/Em 535/587 nm, range 0.2 µM - 50 µM.

L(+)-Lactate is the major stereo-isomer of lactate formed in human intermediary metabolism and is present in blood. D(-)-Lactate is also present but only at about 1-5% of the concentration of L(+)-Lactate.

We also provide D-Lactate assay kit ab83429.

Lactate assay methods
There are two lactate assay methods established in biological research:

  • a) The most commonly used method, where lactate dehydrogenase processes lactate in the presence of NAD+ to produce pyruvate and NADH. NADH then reduces a probe to form a colorimetric or fluorometric readout. This method, with some improvements, is used in ab65331 and in ab169557.
  • b) The alternative method, where lactate oxidase processes lactate to produce pyruvate and hydrogen peroxide. This is followed by oxidation of a substrate by a peroxidase using the hydrogen peroxide to produce a colorimetric or fluorometric readout. This method is used in ab65330.

Other notes
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K607 Lactate Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K607-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab65330.

L-Lactate also known as lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis where it plays an important role in energy metabolism. L-Lactate is a small molecule with a molecular mass of approximately 90.08 g/mol. It forms in various tissues like muscle cells during intense exercise when oxygen levels are low. This process leads to a conversion of pyruvate to lactate by the action of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) which is present in many tissues with higher expressions in muscles and heart.
Biological function summary

L-Lactate acts as a signaling molecule which affects cellular functions and contributes to metabolic regulation. It is not part of a complex but serves as an important intermediate in metabolic pathways. L-Lactate provides energy to cells by converting back to pyruvate in the presence of oxygen which then enters the citric acid cycle. This conversion and its utilization as energy play important roles in balancing cellular energy demands especially under hypoxic conditions.

Pathways

L-Lactate links to critical processes like glycolysis and the Cori cycle. During glycolysis pyruvate may convert to L-Lactate under anaerobic conditions to regenerate NAD+ necessary for glycolysis to continue. In the Cori cycle lactate produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles is released into the bloodstream and transported to the liver. There it converts back to glucose supporting gluconeogenesis. These processes highlight the close involvement of L-Lactate with proteins such as lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase.

L-Lactate is associated with conditions like lactic acidosis and cancer. Lactic acidosis characterized by high lactate levels can occur due to oxygen deprivation or mitochondrial dysfunction. Meanwhile cancer cells often show enhanced glycolysis and lactate production known as the Warburg effect facilitating their growth. Proteins like hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are key players in these conditions influencing lactate metabolism and potentially serving as therapeutic targets.
