Many coaches argue that lactate threshold is one of, if not the, biggest performance predictor. It determines how fast you can run longer distances without burning out. So, a key component of training ...

Higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at baseline were independently linked to an increased risk for heart failure (HF) events or cardiovascular death in patients with HF with reduced ejection ...

Methanol is an ideal feedstock for bio-manufacturing. Converting it into lactate, a monomer for biodegradable plastic, offers a promising strategy for addressing the challenge of white pollution.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations impair OXPHOS and enhance lactate accumulation in skeletal muscle. Elevated lactate drives H3K14 histone lactylation, inducing GDF15 expression and secretion in ...

When runners talk physiology, two terms tend to dominate the conversation: VO2 max and lactate threshold. Although the two metrics are related, they are not the same – and they shape performance in ...

Lactate clearance can be used to predict survival in patients with cardiogenic shock and aid in management decisions, and experts are calling for establishing lactate clearance as a standardized, ...

Science has confirmed that exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of “feel-good” endorphins. One way exercise is thought to yield ...

A new review reveals how lactate and its derivative lactylation process drive breast cancer progression, opening new therapeutic possibilities. The study demonstrates that lactate—a metabolic ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

Like all great villains, lactic acid has been misunderstood. We’ve been blaming it for the pain we suffer during intense exercise for more than two centuries. There’s nothing worse, we say, than the ...
