Abstract Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN), the lifelong process of formation new neurons in mammalian brain, plays an important role learning and memory. Exercise is effective enhancer AHN; however, molecular mediators exercise-induced AHN are unknown. Recently, lactate was considered as mediator AHN. Therefore, we hypothesized that exercise with intake could augment This study conducted for 5 weeks 7-week-old ICR male mice performed mild-intensity (just below threshold, 55–60%VO 2max )...

Abstract The perception regarding lactate has changed over the past decades, and some of its physiological roles have gradually been revealed. However, effects exogenous on skeletal muscle synthesis remain unclear. This study aimed to confirm a 5‐week administration post‐exercise synthesis. Thirty‐two Institute Cancer Research mice were randomly assigned non‐trained + placebo, lactate, trained groups. Furthermore, 3 g/kg or an equivalent volume saline was immediately administered after...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of exogenous lactate intake on energy metabolism during 1 h rest after acute exercise.[Methods] Eight-week-old ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups: SED (no treatment), EXE (exercise only), LAC (post-exercise oral administration), and SAL saline administration) (n=8 per group). The exercise intensity was at VO<sub>2</sub>max 80% 25 m/min 15° slope for 50 min. After exercise, groups ingested orally, respectively, allowed to...

Blood glucose and insulin resistance were lower following hypoxic exposure in previous studies. However, the effect of hypoxia as therapy obese model has not been unknown. Six-week-old mice randomly divided into chow diet (n=10) high-fat (HFD) groups (n=20). The group received a non-purified commercial (65 % carbohydrate, 21 protein, 14 fat) water ad libitum. HFD was fed an (Research Diet, #D12492; 60% kcal from fat, 5.24 kcal/g). Both consumed their respective for 7 weeks. Subsequently,...

In this study, we investigated the effects of exogenous lactate administration before exercise on energy substrate utilization during exercise. Mice were divided into control (EX) and with intake (EXLA) groups; saline/lactate was administered 30 min Respiratory gas measured moderate intensity treadmill (30 min). Immediately after exercise, blood, liver, skeletal muscle samples collected mRNA levels metabolism-related metabolic factors analyzed. At 16–30 respiratory exchange ratio (p = 0.045)...

The purpose of the study was to investigate effects 4 weeks lactate intake immediately after endurance exercise on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in performance.Seven-week-old mice from Institute Cancer Research (ICR) were randomly divided into four groups: vehicle (SE/CON), (SE/LAC), with (EX/ CON), and LAC). Mice subjected 60-70% VO2max or without oral 5 days/ week for weeks. measurements (VO2max, time exhaustion (TTE), respiratory exchange rate, fat oxidation, carbohydrate oxidation)...

[Purpose] Public transportation (PT) systems significantly shape urban mobility and have garnered attention owing to their potential impact on public health, particularly the promotion of physical activity. Beyond functions, PT also affect daily energy expenditure through non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). This mini-review surveys existing literature explore effects use NEAT levels subsequent health outcomes.[Methods] A comprehensive search was conducted using electronic databases...

Purpose In the past, lactate has been considered a by‐product of lack oxygen in skeletal muscle and accumulates muscles blood, which causing acidosis fatigue. However, is always produce, removed or used regardless presence oxygen, it identified as an important metabolite that maintain constancy glucose, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) cells, changing understanding lactate. Nevertheless, effects exogenous intake have not explained there no study interrelationship between ingestion time exercise....

However, the lactate paradigm has changed in last decades, and it was reconsidered a potential factors of energy resource muscle adaptation. Nevertheless, effect administration exogenous on not elucidated, no molecular signaling study synthesis over time after ingestion. Therefore, we aimed to investigate skeletal muscle, according different intervals within 2 hours. Methods Male rats were randomly...
