The main, highly significant finding of our study was that lactate (Discovery group: p<1.6x10 -6 , q = 0.00; Test group: p = 0.003; q = 0.047) and pyruvate (Discovery group: p = 0.017, q = 0.27; Test group: p = 0.010, q = 0.10), two products of anaerobic respiration in glycolysis, were significantly elevated in the PTSD-positive subjects compared to the PTSD negative subjects.
