Behavioral Change of Blood Lactate Metabolism

摘要

Possible cellular contributions to behavioral alteration of glycolytic rate in the state of transcendental meditation (TM) were investigated. Specifically, the study was undertaken to: (1) confirm preliminary experiments which indicated that the rate of lactate generation by formed elements of blood may be affected by a relaxed behavioral state.(2)investigate the effect of other common forms of rest/relation states (3) ascertain whether the effects on generation associated with rest or TM are due to sleep that may occur; (4) investigate more precisely the origin and mechanism of altered blood glycolysis. (5) study the interrelationship between the primary outcome variable of altered blood glycolysis and (6) study possible contribution of personality variables to outcome.
