PubMedID- 20716170 In severe malaria, the importance of tissue hypoxia is reflected in the consistent observation of elevated concentrations of lactate in plasma on admission, with an increased lactate:pyruvate ratio.19 degradation of hif-1α under normoxia and its stabilization in hypoxia constitutes a major cellular response during the transition from ambient to low oxygen tension.
