Laktat? Laktat!

Is lactate a waste product, as many think? No, in the contrary! Lactate is an energy rich substrate and plays a key role in the energy metabolism. Why has lactate then such a bad reputation? I assume that 1) lactate is confused with lactic acid and 2) the concept of an aerobic and anaerobic threshold lead to wrong conclusions. The post Laktat? Laktat! appeared first on SEMS-journal .
