DNAH8 and lactic acidosis: It was previously discovered that enteral Pyr-ORS raised blood pyruvate over 5 times with pyruvate/lactate ratio increase and corrected lethal hypoxic lactic acidosis, profoundly enhancing survival in rehydration of rats subjected to severe burn shock [23]; oral pyruvate as drinking water also markedly increased contents of ATP and ATPase in neurons of rats subjected to microgravity for 8 weeks (data submitted for publication).
