Application


  • Pharmaceutical and biomaterial applications: L-(+)-Lactic acid enhances M2 macrophage polarization through regulation of the PCK2/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway in poly-L-lactic acid membranes, indicating its vital role in biomedicine and materials science (Tang et al., 2024).

  • Agricultural biotechnology: The induction of defense responses in tobacco against Phytophthora nicotianae by L-(+)-Lactic acid underscores its potential application in agricultural biotechnology for plant disease management (Yan et al., 2024).



Biochem/physiol Actions

Use as a substrate for the lactic acid dehydrogenase enzymes.
