- Abstract:
- The present study was carried out to investigate in vivo in healthy humans the method of open-flow microperfusion for monitoring of the subcutaneous (s.c.) lactate concentration during rest and cycle ergometer exercise. Using open-flow microperfusion, a perforated double lumen catheter with an inflow and an outflow connection is inserted into the s.c. adipose tissue and perfused with a sterile, isotonic, ionfree fluid. Due to the low flow rate, the fluid partially equilibrates with the surrounding tissue. The equilibrated perfusate passes a sensor flow chamber where the substance of interest and the rate of recovery (i.e. the ratio of sampled concentration to interstitial concentration) are continuously monitored. Within this study, the method was evaluated in four healthy volunteers during cycle ergometer exercise. The relative increase of the lactate concentration was approximately a third in the s.c. tissue compared to the capillary blood and the peak time was delayed on average by 10 min. The correlation coefficient between blood and s.c. tissue lactate concentration ranged from r = 0.41 to r = 0.90 (n = 29) in the individual experiments. The combination of open-flow microperfusion and lactate and conductivity sensors enables on-line monitoring of the s.c. lactate concentration without in vivo calibration during steady-state and cycle ergometer exercise.
