Abstract in brief

This review explains how lactate is produced, processed, and its role in health and disease, especially related to exercise, diabetes, and cancer.
Lactate is generated from pyruvate during anaerobic metabolism, and its removal involves oxidation back to pyruvate or conversion into glucose, highlighting the importance of mitochondria and oxygen supply.
Elevated lactate levels are observed in conditions like obesity and diabetes, possibly linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, but a direct cause-and-effect relationship remains unclear.
