Abstract: Lactate was for a long time considered just a metabolic waste.It was then associated with exercise-induced fatigue and muscle soreness.In recent decades this paradigm has changed and lactate has become a central figure in energy metabolism.More recently, advances in molecular biology and endocrinology studies have shown that lactate also acts to modulate various cellular functions and structures, including gene transcription.These findings allow including lactate as a hormone according to current definitions.
