New Insights into the Lactate Shuttle: Role of MCT4 in the Modulation of the Exercise Capacity

Summary: Lactate produced by muscle during high-intensity activity is an important end product of glycolysis that supports whole body metabolism. The lactate shuttle model suggested that lactate produced by glycolytic muscle fibers is utilized by oxidative fibers. MCT4 is a proton coupled monocarbox...
