A research team led by Prof. Chen Yan and Prof. Yang Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a physiological function of monocarboxylate ...

Lactate is a byproduct of exercise and metabolism, fueling our brain when oxygen is limited. More recently, scientists have become aware of the many roles it plays in developing our nervous system.

Scientists at Tohoku University have discovered the critical role that lactate plays in helping neural stem cells develop into specialized neurons, a process dubbed neuronal differentiation. They also ...

A recent article says that despite a recent history of contradictory -- and incomplete -- evidence, sports physiology is zeroing in on whether lactate sensor technology can improve performance while ...

Researchers at the Dallas-based UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center report that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, may rejuvenate immune cells that fight ...
