That process, in which this molecule participates as an intermediate, is the Cori Cycle.
In addition to sodium and calcium, this molecule's conjugate base appears in a solution named for Hartmann. The diabetic drug Metformin can cause abdominal pain and tachycardia in an acidosis named for this molecule. The heart can fuel itself with this molecule, which is converted to pyruvate in the liver to eventually reform glucose. That process, in which this molecule participates as an intermediate, is the Cori Cycle. In the absence of sufficient oxygen, the human body converts pyruvate to this molecule using its namesake dehydrogenase. For 10 points, name this product of fermentation that causes athletes pain and is often found in sour milk.
