  Red blood cells taken from subjects during Transcendental Meditation were found to show a decrease in lactate production compared to red cells taken during a control period. This finding indicates a marked reduction in red cell glucose metabolism during Transcendental Meditation which is not observed in other physiological states and which is apparently mediated by a unique mechanism.
