Lactate Metabolism in Anxiety Neurosis
Abstract
FOUR investigations conducted in 4 countries during the past twenty-five years have shown excessive lactate production on standard exercise in patients with anxiety neurosis.1 2 3 4 The characteristic anxiety symptoms were often evoked by the exercise and appeared to be concomitant with the extremely rapid rise of blood lactic acid. In general, the patients were unable to perform as much work per unit of time or to maintain as great a workload as normal matched controls.4 5 6 The rise in blood lactate per unit of work output per unit of time in the anxiety neurotics approximates that of patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
