Lactate - Friend or Foe Flashcards
1
Q
Why should lactate be used instead of lactic acid?
A
- contributes to ongoing confusion regarding energy metabolism and models of muscular fatigue
2
Q
Is lactate responsible for muscle fatigue?
A
- NO
3
Q
What is lactate used for in the body?
A
Energy Substrate
- metabolism im multiple tissues
4
Q
Is Lactate confined to anaerobic conditions?
A
- NO
5
Q
What might limit the use of a Lactate threshold for individual athletes?
A
- fidelity of traditional lactate threshold measuring techniques
6
Q
What was found during moderate intensity exercise with lactate appearance and concentration in excess of endogenous production?
A
- Increase in lactate oxidation
- decrease in glucose oxidation
7
Q
What happened with exogenous lactate infusion?
A
Increased
- lactate into glucose
Decreased
- Glucose from glycogenolysis
8
Q
Discuss how lactate infusion effected fatigue in exercising men?
A
- Not associated with increase in sensation of fatigue
9
Q
What can lactate do for glucose and glycogen in times of increased energy demands?
A
Spare
- Blood Glucose
