Various discussions highlight the shift from viewing lactate as a toxin to recognizing its physiological importance, such as mentions of cardiovascular effects and instructive comments about its role during exercise. The tone varies from curiosity to scientific referencing, reflecting both interest and engagement, with words like 'proud,' 'great paper,' and references to upcoming talks indicating a moderate but ongoing impact.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the evolving understanding of lactate as more of a beneficial metabolite, aligning with the article's message.
InterestHigh interest
Participants show high curiosity, sharing data, asking questions, and linking the research to practical and educational contexts.
EngagementModerate engagement
Posts involve referencing scientific literature, planning presentations, and classroom discussions, indicating moderate but meaningful engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
The conversations suggest that the article influences research ideas, teaching, and communication about lactate's role, though not yet widely transformational.
Abstract in brief
Traditionally, lactate (lactic acid) has been viewed as a waste product that causes muscle fatigue, burning sensation during intense exercise, and metabolic acidosis, leading to decreased muscle performance and stopping exercise.
Recent scientific research challenges this outdated view, showing that lactate actually plays important roles in energy production, serves as a fuel for various tissues, and contributes to metabolic processes rather than just being a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism.
The review also discusses lactate threshold concepts, providing practical insights for predicting athletic performance and monitoring training progress by understanding how lactate functions in the body.]
At @escardio ACVC 2025 I will present the hemodynamic effects of infusion with lactate in a porcine model of #cardiogenicshock
Meanwhile, take a look at the effects in healthy pigs and healthy volunteers

I totally agree - what is the toxic response? @jentaylorphd paper on BBB is a start down that path? Lactate- friend or foe? https://t.co/NZwLuAGqIJ

@Correndorfinas @WaldenDurden @ChicharroJL Claro que no es tóxico. La lanzadera astrocito-neurona es conocida hace tiempo. Si quieres saber sobre otros roles fisiológicos de lactato... mira estos artículos, por ejemplo. Están en abierto.

@joerogan @dc_mma @ufc @UFCPI two of the most knowledgeable people in all combat sports still describe “LACTATE and LACTIC ACID” incorrectly. I attached some literature to keep the learning curve short. #fortheculture https://t.co/5j8Hto9ARL
