Analysis of nonlinear coupled diffusion of oxygen and lactic acid in intervertebral discs.

The transport of oxygen and lactate (i.e., lactic acid) in the human intervertebral disc was investigated accounting for the measured coupling between species via the pH level in the tissue. Uncoupled cases were also analyzed to identify the extent of the effect of such coupling on the solute gradie...
