Abstract
Muscle and blood were obtained simultaneously from rats in rest and after exercise of varying intensity. Mean values of 13 mgm.% in blood and 22 in muscle were obtained in rest. After exercise lasting 6-73 mins. the increments of lactic acid in blood and muscle were approximately equal. In the intact exercising rat there is free and rapid diffusion of lactate between blood and muscle.
