Lactate for protecting heart and brain blood flow
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how giving lactate (a natural substance your body makes) can help keep blood flowing to your heart and brain. If you are a healthy older adult, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about protecting these vital organs.
