Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:2645-2651.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate whether caffeine combined with a moderate amount of glucose reduces the risk for exercise-related hypoglycaemia compared with glucose alone or control in adult people with type 1 diabetes using ultra-long-acting insulin degludec. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen participants conducted three aerobic exercise sessions (maximum 75 min) in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over design. Thirty minutes before exercise, participants ingested a drink containing either 250 mg of caffeine + 10 g of glucose + aspartame (CAF), 10 g of glucose + aspartame (GLU), or aspartame alone (ASP). The primary outcome was time to hypoglycaemia. RESULTS There was a significant effect of the condition on time to hypoglycaemia (χ2 = 7.674, p = .0216). Pairwise comparisons revealed an 85.7% risk reduction of hypoglycaemia for CAF compared with ASP (p = .044). No difference was observed between GLU and ASP (p = .104) or between CAF and GLU (p = .77). While CAF increased glucose levels during exercise compared with GLU and ASP (8.3 ± 1.9 mmol/L vs. 7.7 ± 2.2 mmol/L vs. 5.8 ± 1.4 mmol/L; p < .001), peak plasma glucose levels during exercise did not differ between CAF and GLU (9.3 ± 1.4 mmol/L and 9.1 ± 1.6 mmol/L, p = .80), but were higher than in ASP (6.6 ± 1.1 mmol/L; p < .001). The difference in glucose levels between CAF and GLU was largest during the last 15 min of exercise (p = .002). Compared with GLU, CAF lowered perceived exertion (p = .023). CONCLUSIONS Pre-exercise caffeine ingestion combined with a low dose of glucose reduced exercise-related hypoglycaemia compared with control while avoiding hyperglycaemia.

Jang I, Kyun S, Hwang D, Kim T, Lim K, Park HY, Kim SW, Kim J. Chronic Administration of Exogenous Lactate Increases Energy Expenditure during Exercise through Activation of Skeletal Muscle Energy Utilization Capacity in Mice. Metabolites 2024; 14:220. [PMID: 38668348 PMCID: PMC11052295 DOI: 10.3390/metabo14040220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
We compared the effects of chronic exogenous lactate and exercise training, which influence energy substrate utilization and body composition improvements at rest and during exercise, and investigated the availability of lactate as a metabolic regulator. The mice were divided into four groups: CON (sedentary + saline), LAC (sedentary + lactate), EXE (exercise + saline), and EXLA (exercise + lactate). The total experimental period was set at 4 weeks, the training intensity was set at 60-70% VO2max, and each exercise group was administered a solution immediately after exercise. Changes in the energy substrate utilization at rest and during exercise, the protein levels related to energy substrate utilization in skeletal muscles, and the body composition were measured. Lactate intake and exercise increased carbohydrate oxidation as a substrate during exercise, leading to an increased energy expenditure and increased protein levels of citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase 2, key factors in the TCA(tricarboxylic acid) cycle of skeletal muscle. Exercise, but not lactate intake, induced the upregulation of the skeletal muscle glucose transport factor 4 and a reduction in body fat. Hence, chronic lactate administration, as a metabolic regulator, influenced energy substrate utilization by the skeletal muscle and increased energy expenditure during exercise through the activation of carbohydrate metabolism-related factors. Therefore, exogenous lactate holds potential as a metabolic regulator.

Acute Neuromuscular, Physiological and Performance Responses After Strength Training in Runners: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. SPORTS MEDICINE - OPEN 2022; 8:105. [PMID: 35976540 PMCID: PMC9385928 DOI: 10.1186/s40798-022-00497-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Background Strength training (ST) is commonly used to improve muscle strength, power, and neuromuscular adaptations and is recommended combined with runner training. It is possible that the acute effects of the strength training session lead to deleterious effects in the subsequent running. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to verify the acute effects of ST session on the neuromuscular, physiological and performance variables of runners.
Methods Studies evaluating running performance after resistance exercise in runners in the PubMed and Scopus databases were selected. From 6532 initial references, 19 were selected for qualitative analysis and 13 for meta-analysis. The variables of peak torque (PT), creatine kinase (CK), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), countermovement jump (CMJ), ventilation (VE), oxygen consumption (VO2), lactate (La) and heart rate (HR) were evaluated.
Results The methodological quality of the included studies was considered reasonable; the meta-analysis indicated that the variables PT (p = 0.003), DOMS (p < 0.0001), CK (p < 0.0001), RPE (p < 0.0001) had a deleterious effect for the experimental group; for CMJ, VE, VO2, La, FC there was no difference. By qualitative synthesis, running performance showed a reduction in speed for the experimental group in two studies and in all that assessed time to exhaustion.
Conclusion The evidence indicated that acute strength training was associated with a decrease in PT, increases in DOMS, CK, RPE and had a low impact on the acute responses of CMJ, VE, VO2, La, HR and submaximal running sessions.

Acute Administration of Exogenous Lactate Increases Carbohydrate Metabolism during Exercise in Mice. Metabolites 2021; 11:metabo11080553.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of exogenous lactate administration before exercise on energy substrate utilization during exercise. Mice were divided into exercise control (EX) and exercise with lactate intake (EXLA) groups; saline/lactate was administered 30 min before exercise. Respiratory gas was measured during moderate intensity treadmill exercise (30 min). Immediately after exercise, blood, liver, and skeletal muscle samples were collected and mRNA levels of energy metabolism-related and metabolic factors were analyzed. At 16–30 min of exercise, the respiratory exchange ratio (p = 0.045) and carbohydrate oxidation level (p = 0.014) were significantly higher in the EXLA than in the EX group. Immediately after exercise, the muscle and liver glycogen content and blood glucose level of the EXLA group were lower than those of the EX group. In addition, muscle mRNA levels of HK2 (hexokinase 2; p = 0.009), a carbohydrate oxidation-related factor, were higher in the EXLA than in the EX group, whereas the expression of PDK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4; p = 0.001), CS (citrate synthase; p = 0.045), and CD36 (cluster of differentiation 36; p = 0.002), factors related to oxidative metabolism, was higher in the EX than in the EXLA group. These results suggest that lactate can be used in various research fields to promote carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract
Beyond storing and supplying energy in the liver and muscles, glycogen also plays critical roles in cell differentiation, signaling, redox regulation, and stemness under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Such versatile functions have been revealed by various forms of glycogen storage diseases. Here, we outline the source of carbon flux in glycogen metabolism and discuss how glycogen metabolism guides CD8+ T-cell memory formation and maintenance. Likewise, we review how this affects macrophage polarization and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we dissect how glycogen metabolism supports tumor development by promoting tumor-repopulating cell growth in hypoxic tumor microenvironments. This review highlights the essential role of the gluconeogenesis-glycogenesis-glycogenolysis-PPP metabolic chain in redox homeostasis, thus providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies against major chronic diseases including cancer.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of oral lactate administration on protein synthesis and degradation factors in rats over 2 h after intake. Seven-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 8/group); their blood plasma levels of lactate, glucose, insulin, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) were examined following sacrifice at 0, 30, 60, or 120 min after sodium lactate (2 g/kg) administration. We measured the mRNA expression levels of protein synthesis-related genes (IGF receptor, protein kinase B (Akt), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)) or degradation-related genes (muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF1), atrogin-1) and analyzed the protein expression and phosphorylation (activation) of Akt and mTOR. Post-administration, the plasma lactate concentration increased to 3.2 mmol/L after 60 min. Plasma glucose remained unchanged throughout, while insulin and IGF1 levels decreased after 30 min. The mRNA levels of IGF receptor and mTOR peaked after 60 min, and Akt expression was significantly upregulated from 30 to 120 min. However, MuRF1 and atrogin-1 expression levels were unaffected. Akt protein phosphorylation did not change significantly, whereas mTOR phosphorylation significantly increased after 30 min. Thus, lactate administration increased the mRNA and protein expression of protein-synthesis factors, suggesting that it can potentially promote skeletal muscle synthesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lactate has several beneficial roles as an energy resource and in metabolism. However, studies on the effects of oral administration of lactate on fat metabolism and glycogen synthesis are limited. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate how oral administration of lactate affects fat metabolism and glycogen synthesis factors at specific times (0, 30, 60, 120 min) after intake. METHODS Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (n = 24) were divided into four groups as follows: the control group (0 min) was sacrificed immediately after oral lactate administration; the test groups were administered lactate (2 g/kg) and sacrificed after 30, 60, and 120 min. Skeletal muscle and liver mRNA expression of GLUT4, FAT/CD36, PDH, CS, PC and GYS2 was assessed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS GLUT4 and FAT/CD36 expression was significantly increased in skeletal muscle 120 min after lactate administration. PDH expression in skeletal muscle was altered at 30 and 120 min after lactate consumption, but was not significantly different compared to the control. CS, PC and GYS2 expression in liver was increased 60 min after lactate administration. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that exogenous lactate administration increases GLUT4 and FAT/CD36 expression in the muscle as well as glycogen synthase factors (PC, GYS2) in the liver after 60 min. Therefore, lactate supplementation may increase fat utilization as well as induce positive effects on glycogen synthesis in athletes.

Abstract
Decreases in energy metabolism following traumatic brain injury (TBI) are attributed to impairment of glycolytic flux and oxidative phosphorylation. Glucose utilization post-TBI is decreased while administration of alternative substrates has been shown to be neuroprotective. Changes in energy metabolism following TBI happens in two phases; a period of hyper-metabolism followed by prolonged hypo-metabolism. It is not understood how different cerebral metabolic states may impact substrate metabolism and ultimately mitochondrial function. Adult male or female Sprague Dawley rats were given sham surgery or controlled cortical impact (CCI) and were assigned one of two administration schemes. Glucose, lactate or beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) were infused i.v. either starting immediately after injury or beginning 6 h post-injury for 3 h to reflect the hyper- and hypo-metabolic stages. Animals were euthanized 24 h post-injury. The peri-contusional cortex was collected and assayed for mitochondrial respiration peroxide production, and citrate synthase activity. Tissue acetyl-CoA, ATP, glycogen and HMGB1 were also quantified. Sex differences were observed in injury pattern. Administration based on cerebral metabolic state identified that only early lactate and late BHB improved mitochondrial function and peroxide production and TCA cycle intermediates in males. In contrast, both early and late BHB had deleterious effects on all aspects of metabolic measurements in females. These data stress there is no one optimal alternative substrate, but rather the fuel type used should be guided by both cerebral metabolic state and sex.

Abstract
Lactate (or its protonated form: lactic acid) has been studied by many exercise scientists. The lactate paradigm has been in constant change since lactate was first discovered in 1780. For many years, it was unfairly seen as primarily responsible for muscular fatigue during exercise and a waste product of glycolysis. The status of lactate has slowly changed to an energy source, and in the last two decades new evidence suggests that lactate may play a much bigger role than was previously believed: many adaptations to exercise may be mediated in some way by lactate. The mechanisms behind these adaptations are yet to be understood. The aim of this review is to present the state of lactate science, focusing on how this molecule may mediate exercise-induced adaptations.

Abstract
Lactate is oxidized as an energy fuel during exercise, and it also plays a key role in the regulation of glycogen synthesis in the muscles and liver after exercise. Previous studies have suggested that lactate is converted to glycogen and stimulates glycogen synthesis. However, it remains unclear whether chronic post-exercise lactate administration can increase glycogen storage in skeletal muscle. We examined whether 3 wk of chronic post-exercise lactate administration with training can increase muscle glycogen storage and whether such changes are associated with monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) protein expression in mice. Mice were assigned to receive saline with training (SA+T group; n=6) or lactate with training (LA+T group; n=6). All mice performed 40 min of treadmill running at 25 m/min, following which they received saline or lactate (2.5 mg/g body weight), 6 d/wk for 3 wk. After 3 wk, glycogen concentration at rest was higher in the white tibialis anterior (TA; p<0.05, +34%), but not in the red TA, in the LA+T group. Protein expression of MCT1, the primary lactate transporter, was increased with chronic post-exercise lactate administration in the white TA (p<0.05, +32%), but not in the red TA. MCT1 protein expression was significantly correlated with muscle glycogen concentration in the red and white TA in both groups (p<0.05, r=0.969). These results suggest that chronic lactate administration after exercise increases MCT1 protein expression, which can be involved in the regulation of the observed increase in muscle glycogen storage after exercise training.

Abstract
Lactate is known as the end product of anaerobic glycolysis, a pathway that is of key importance during high intensity exercise. Instead of being a waste product lactate is now regarded as a valuable substrate that significantly contributes to the energy production of heart, non-contracting muscles and even brain. The recent cloning of monocarboxylate transporters, a conserved protein family that transports lactate through biological membranes, has given a new insight into the role of lactate in whole body metabolism. This paper reviews current literature on lactate and monocarboxylate transporters with special reference to horses.

Abstract
This study compared muscle glycogen recovery after depletion of approximately 50 mmol/l (DeltaGly) from normal (Nor) resting levels (63.2 +/- 2.8 mmol/l) with recovery after depletion of approximately 50 mmol/l from a glycogen-loaded (GL) state (99.3 +/- 4.0 mmol/l) in 12 healthy, untrained subjects (5 men, 7 women). To glycogen load, a 7-day carbohydrate-loading protocol increased muscle glycogen 1.6 +/- 0.2-fold (P < or = 0.01). GL subjects then performed plantar flexion (single-leg toe raises) at 50 +/- 3% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) to yield DeltaGly = 48.0 +/- 1.3 mmol/l. The Nor trial, performed on a separate occasion, yielded DeltaGly = 47.5 +/- 4.5 mmol/l. Interleaved natural abundance (13)C-(31)P-NMR spectra were acquired and quantified before exercise and during 5 h of recovery immediately after exercise. During the initial 15 min after exercise, glycogen recovery in the GL trial was rapid (32.9 +/- 8.9 mmol. l(-1). h(-1)) compared with the Nor trial (15.9 +/- 6.9 mmol. l(-1). h(-1)). During the next 45 min, GL glycogen synthesis was not as rapid as in the Nor trial (0.9 +/- 2.5 mmol. l(-1). h(-1) for GL; 14.7 +/- 3.0 mmol. l(-1). h(-1) for Nor; P < or = 0.005) despite similar glucose 6-phosphate levels. During extended recovery (60-300 min), reduced GL recovery rates continued (1.3 +/- 0.5 mmol. l(-1). h(-1) for GL; 3.9 +/- 0.3 mmol. l(-1). h(-1) for Nor; P < or = 0.001). We conclude that glycogen recovery from heavy exercise is controlled primarily by the remaining postexercise glycogen concentration, with only a transient synthesis period when glycogen levels are not severely reduced.

Abstract
The present study examined the role of lactate and glucose as substrates for glyconeogenesis in muscle in recovery from high-intensity exercise in humans. Seven subjects performed approximately 100 min of intense intermittent one-legged knee extensor exercise on two occasions: with [high lactate (HL)] and without [control (C)] intense arm exercise between the leg exercise bouts, leading to end exercise arterial plasma lactate concentrations of 16.0 +/- 1.6 and 9.2 +/- 1.6 mmol/l, respectively (P < 0.05). At the end of exercise, muscle lactate and glycogen were similar in HL and C (20.5 +/- 1.3 vs. 17.3 +/- 2.0 mmol/kg wet wt and 48.1 +/- 11.3 vs. 56.3 +/- 8.6 mmol/kg wet wt, respectively). Muscle glycogen increased (P < 0.05) during the first 5 min of recovery only in HL, but after 90 min of recovery the muscle glycogen concentration was the same in C and HL (61.2 +/- 12.0 vs. 71.5 +/- 10.9 mmol/kg wet wt). Muscle lactate not released to the blood could maximally account for 28 (C) and 54% (HL) of the increase in muscle glycogen during 90 min of recovery or < 10% of glycogen synthesis after full recovery. The total net glucose uptake corresponded to 84 (C) and 57% (HL) of the glycogen synthesized. Apparently, muscle glyconeogenesis may occur in humans, but the role of lactate as a substrate is minor. Instead, blood glucose appears to be the most important precursor for muscle glycogen synthesis after intense exercise.

Abstract
The essence of the postexercise recovery period is normalization of function and homeostatic equilibrium, and replenishment of energy resources and accomplishment of the reconstructive function. The repletion of energy stores is actualized in a certain sequence and followed by a transitory supercompensation. The main substrate for repletion of the muscle glycogen store is blood glucose derived from hepatic glucose output as well as from consumption of carbohydrates during the postexercise period. The repletion of liver glycogen is realized less rapidly. It depends to a certain extent on hepatic gluconeogenesis but mainly on supply with exogenous carbohydrates. The constructive function is founded on elevated protein turnover and adaptive protein synthesis. Whereas during and shortly after endurance exercise intensive protein breakdown was found in less active fast-twitch glycolytic fibers, during the later course of the recovery period the protein degradation rate increased together with intensification of protein synthesis rate in more active fast-twitch glycolytic oxidative and slow-twitch oxidative fibers.

Abstract
Typical rates of muscle glycogen resynthesis after short term, high intensity exercise (15.1 to 33.6 mmol/kg/h) are much higher than glycogen resynthesis rates following prolonged exercise (approximately 2 mmol/kg/h), even when optimal amounts of oral carbohydrate are supplied (approximately mmol/kg/h). Several factors differ during post-exercise recovery from short term, high intensity exercise compared with prolonged exercise. The extremely fast rate of muscle glycogen resynthesis following short term, high intensity exercise may originate from these differences. First, peak blood glucose levels range from 6.6 to 8.9 mmol/L during recovery from short term, high intensity exercise. This is markedly higher than the blood glucose values of 2 to 3.4 mmol/L after prolonged exercise. In response to this elevation in plasma glucose levels, insulin levels increase to approximately 60 microU/ml, a 2-fold increase over resting values. Both glucose and insulin regulate glycogen synthase activity, and higher levels of them improve muscle glycogen synthesis. Secondly, high intensity exercise produces high levels of glycolytic intermediates in muscle, as well as high lactate levels ([La]) in muscle and blood. Finally, fast-twitch glycolytic muscle fibres are more heavily used in short term, high intensity exercise. This promotes greater glycogen depletion in the fast-twitch fibres, which have a higher level of glycogen synthase activity than slow-twitch fibres. While the exact contribution of each of these factors is unknown, they may act in combination to stimulate rapid muscle glycogen resynthesis rates. Muscle glycogen resynthesis rates following resistance exercise (1.3 to 11.1 mmol/kg/h) are slower than the rates observed after short term, high intensity exercise. This may be caused by slightly lower muscle and blood [La] after resistance exercise. In addition, a greater eccentric component in the resistance exercise may cause some interference with glycogen resynthesis.

Abstract
The influence of blood flow on muscle lactate and H+ release as well as muscle glyconeogenesis was studied in the perfused rat hindlimb. After 2 min of supramaximal stimulation the perfusate flow rate was 7 (F7), 12 (F12), or 18 (F18) ml/min for 30 min. Perfusate samples were drawn frequently and muscle samples were obtained before stimulation, immediately after stimulation, and at 3, 10, and 30 min of recovery from soleus, white gastrocnemius (WG) and red gastrocnemius. During the first 5 min of recovery lactate release was 35-39% lower (P < 0.05) in F7 than in F12 and F18 but with no differences in total release during recovery. In F7 the concentration of lactate was higher (P < 0.05) in soleus after 10 min (18-20%) and in WG after 30 min (63-67%) than in F12 and F18. During the first 2 min of recovery H+ release was 23-34% lower (P < 0.05) in F7 than in F12 and F18. The difference between H+ and lactate release was larger (P < 0.05) in F7 than in F12 and F18 from 3 to 10 min and from 5 to 10 min of recovery, respectively. Muscle glycogen concentrations after 30 min of recovery were independent of flow in each of the muscles. The present data suggest that 1) in the range of blood flow rates from 0.61 to 0.92 ml.min-1.g-1, lactate and H+ release are independent of the flow rate, whereas at a lower flow rate (0.36 ml.min-1.g-1) release of these substances is decreased; 2) low blood flow influences lactate efflux more than H+ release; and 3) muscle glyconeogenesis from lactate is of minor importance.

Abstract
The formation of muscle glycogen from substrates other than glucose (glyconeogenesis) has now been demonstrated 1) from circulating lactate when this lactate is elevated and 2) from intramuscular substrate, which equilibrates with the products of local glucose metabolism but not with circulating lactate [Am. J. Physiol. 267 (Endocrinol. Metab. 30): E210-E218, 1994]. The purpose of the present studies was to examine the interaction of recovery from low-intensity exercise (4-h swim) and supplementation with exogenous lactate in determining the distribution of carbon flux between these two pathways for the glyconeogenic process in the gastrocnemius muscles. Ten protocols were defined using [14C]bicarbonate (no local incorporation into glycogen), [U-14C]lactate (tracks circulating lactate), and recycled [1-14C]glucose (tracks local substrate formation and glyconeogenesis). During recovery, lactate was infused to increase circulating concentrations 15- to 20-fold. Glucose and saline infusions during recovery were used as controls. The results indicate that prior exercise primarily promotes the local incorporation of recycled glucose label produced within the muscle into glycogen. Exogenous lactate stimulates the incorporation of circulating lactate into muscle glycogen. The contribution of the two substrate pools to glycogen synthesis appears to be additive, indicating the independence of muscle glycogenesis from these two sources.

Abstract
Glyconeogenesis in muscle was assessed during a 3-h recovery period after prolonged submaximal exercise represented by a 4-h swim. Rats fasted for 12 h and previously catheterized underwent this protocol with the concomitant infusion of [6-3H]glucose and one of the following: 1) [14C]bicarbonate, 2) [U-14C]lactate, and 3) [1-14C]glucose. Rested rats served as controls. The incorporation of 14C label ([14C]bicarbonate and [U-14C]lactate) or its transfer to the sixth position of glucosyl units of glycogen, over and above that taken up from circulating glucose (and determined from [6-3H]glucose uptake), was used as an index of muscle glyconeogenesis. 14C from 14CO2 is not expected to be incorporated into glycogen in muscle, and any incorporation that is not from circulating glucose is used to define experimental error. [14C]lactate incorporation measures equilibration with circulating lactate, and label randomization in glucosyl units beyond that seen in plasma glucose is taken as evidence of glyconeogenesis from locally accumulated glycolytic products. The results of these studies demonstrate 1) no glyconeogenesis in the soleus; 2) in the red and white gastrocnemii, glyconeogenesis takes place only from glycolytic products within the muscle. Approximately 35-40% of the [6-14C]glucose in glycogen can only be accounted for by muscle glyconeogenesis. The substrate does not equilibrate with circulating lactate to a detectable extent. 3) Glyconeogenesis appears to persist throughout the recovery period and uses substrate at the level of pyruvate. This is consistent with a continuing elevation of glycolysis during this period.

Abstract
1. Intramuscular glyconeogenesis from lactate after intense exercise was examined by using the one-legged knee extension model which enables evaluation of metabolism in a well-defined muscle group. 2. In seven subjects measurements of leg blood flow and arterial-venous differences of various substrates were performed in individuals after intense, exhaustive knee extensor exercise lasting 3.0 min. Muscle glycogen and lactate concentrations were determined in the quadriceps muscle immediately after exercise and three times during 1 h of recovery. 3. Muscle glycogen increased from 93.7 +/- 6.7 (+/- S.E.M.) to 108.8 +/- 8.1 mmol (kg wet wt)-1 during the recovery period. Muscle lactate was 27.1 +/- 2.1 mmol (kg wet wt)-1 at the end of exercise and decreased to 14.5 +/- 2.1, 6.7 +/- 1.1, and 3.0 +/- 0.5 mmol (kg wet wt)-1 after 3, 10 and 60 min of recovery, respectively. 4. More than two-thirds of the lactate that accumulated in the muscle during the intense exercise was released into the blood. It was estimated that between 13 and 27% of the lactate could have been converted to glycogen. This corresponded to a glycogen resynthesis rate from lactate of 0.17-0.34 and 0.002 mmol glucosyl units min-1 (kg wet wt)-1 for the first 10 and last 50 min of recovery, respectively. 5. The O2 debt of the leg was 1.5 l of which the resynthesis of ATP, creatine phosphate (CP) and glycogen and reloading of haemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) only could account for one-third. It is proposed that the elevated oxygen uptake during recovery is linked to the metabolic use of intramuscular triacylglycerol.

Abstract
Twelve male and female subjects (eight trained, four untrained) exercised for 30 min on a treadmill at an intensity of maximal O2 consumption (% VO2max) 90.0%, SD 4.7 greater than the anaerobic threshold of 4 mmol.l-1 (Than = 83.6% VO2max, SD 8.9). Time-dependent changes in blood lactate concentration [( lab]) during exercise occurred in two phases: the oxygen uptake (VO2) transient phase (from 0 to 4 min) and the VO2 steady-state phase (4-30 min). During the transient phase, [lab] increased markedly (1.30 mmol.l-1.min-1, SD (0.13). During the steady-state phase, [lab] increased slightly (0.02 mmol.l-1.min-1, SD 0.06) and when individual values were considered, it was seen that there were no time-dependent increases in [lab] in half of the subjects. Following hyperlacticaemia (8.8 mmol.l-1, SD 2.0) induced by a previous 2 min of supramaximal exercise (120% VO2max), [lab] decreased during the VO2 transient (-0.118 mmol.l-1.min-1, SD 0.209) and steady-state (-0.088 mmol.l-1.min-1, SD 0.103) phases of 30 min exercise (91.4% VO2max, SD 4.8). In conclusion, it was not possible from the Than to determine the maximal [lab] steady state for each subject. In addition, lactate accumulated during previous supramaximal exercise was eliminated during the VO2 transient phase of exercise performed at an intensity above the Than. This effect is probably largely explained by the reduction in oxygen deficit during the transient phase. Under these conditions, the time-course of changes in [lab] during the VO2 steady state was also affected.

Abstract
We examined the effects of selected hormones and pH on the rates of glyconeogenesis (L-[U-14C]-lactate----glycogen) and glycogenesis (D-[U-14C]glucose----glycogen) in mouse fast-twitch (FT) and slow-twitch muscles incubated in vitro (37 degrees C). Glyconeogenesis and glycogenesis increased linearly with increasing concentrations of lactate (5-20 mM) and glucose (2.5-10 mM), respectively, in both muscles. Glyconeogenesis was approximately three- to fourfold greater in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) than in the soleus, whereas basal glycogenesis was twofold greater in the soleus muscle than in the EDL. Lactate accounted for up to 5% of the glycogen formed in the soleus and up to 32% in the EDL relative to the rates of glycogenesis (i.e., 5 mM glucose + 10 nM insulin) in each muscle. Corticosterone (10(-12)-10(-6) M) failed to alter glyconeogenesis, whereas this hormone reduced glycogenesis. Insulin (10 nM) markedly stimulated glycogenesis but failed to stimulate glyconeogenesis. The rates of both glycogenesis and glyconeogenesis were pH sensitive, with optimal rates at pH 6.5-7.0 in both muscles. Glyconeogenesis increased by 49% in the soleus and by 39% EDL at pH 6.5 compared with pH 7.4. Glycogenesis increased in the soleus (SOL) and EDL in the absence (SOL: +22%; EDL: +52%) and presence of insulin (SOL: +22%; EDL: +51%) at pH 6.5 when compared with pH 7.4. In additional experiments with the perfused rat hindquarter, rates of glyconeogenesis were shown to be highly correlated with proportion of FT muscle fibers in a muscle.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This study examined the effect on glycogen resynthesis during recovery from exercise of feeding glucose orally to physically trained rats which had been fed for 5 weeks on high-protein low fat (HP), high-protein/long-chain triglyceride (LCT) or high carbohydrate (CHO) diets. Muscle glycogen remained low and hepatic gluconeogenesis was stimulated by long-term fat or high-protein diets. The trained rats received, via a stomach tube, 3 ml of a 34% glucose solution immediately after exercise (2 h at 20 m.min-1), followed by 1-ml portions at hourly intervals until the end of the experiments. When fed glucose soleus muscle glycogen overcompensation occurred rapidly in the rats fed all three diets following prolonged exercise. In LCT- and CHO-fed rats, glucose feeding appeared more effective for soleus muscle repletion than in HP-fed rats. The liver demonstrated no appreciable glycogen overcompensation. A complete restoration of liver glycogen occurred within a 2- to 4-h recovery period in the rats fed HP-diet, while the liver glycogen store had been restored by only 67% in CHO-fed rats and 84% in LCT-fed rats within a 6-h recovery period. This coincides with low gluconeogenesis efficiency in these animals.
