Lactate vs. Lactic Acid Explained | Muscle Physiology
Working out produces H+ ions (acidic environment) not good for enzyme function
pH goes down as hydrogen ions build up (muscle acidosis)
Lactate is actually a base not an acid (missing a proton) (accepts a proton)
Pyruvate + Hydrogen ion = Lactate Buffering
Lactate can give the H+ to an O2 and make H2O
Lactate often goes to type 1/ cardiac muscles/ liver (cori cycle)

So helpful! Big question for you... I have Long Covid and am a life long endurance athlete (running and cycling). After a year of Long Covid I "have it under control" by using a HR monitor and ensuring I stay aerobic under 145 bpm. This approach has been working great for the past few months in avoiding any Long Covid relapses. I am convinced from my experiences that exercising even briefly in an anaerobic state can bring on a Long Covid relapse. I don't understand the biology that occurs, but from my reading the immune system in those of us with Long Covid over reacts from excessive exertion which "causes" the relapses with a flood of T-cells. My question is this.. Not only have I been using the HR monitor to avoid relapses I have also been increasing my glucose intake during exercise using energy drinks and exercise nutrition. This is unusual for me on a 2 hour mountain bike ride, as I historically use glucose stored in the body for 1-2 hours and replenish after the ride. I just took a guess that ensuring I had more glucose in the system during exercise I would raise the threshold or prolong the onset where I produced what I thought of as "lactic acid", but now understand as hydrogen ions. Do you think my use of my on-the-bike energy drinks and snacks helps or hurts my chances of getting into a state where I'm likely to have a relapse?

@edwardbayley3799 2 жыл бұрын

Glycolysis is always happening, it starts to predominate not due to lack of oxygen, but due to ATP demand becoming higher than oxidative processes can handle by themselves. Substrate (lactate) builds up if you do not have the oxidative capacity to feed it all back into TCA in a timely manner. The protons build up perhaps because there are not molecules on standby to be reduced by them fast enough. It is my understanding that glycolysis is like a machine gun. Though ATP yield is not high per glucose molecule, glycolysis can fire off ATP so fast that it is kinda unsustainable.

Theoretically speaking, what could cause a steap decrease in lactate threshold? I have been in really good shape over that past few years but have suffered a preceived decrease associated with an increase in inflammation. I beleive that this inflammation is contributing to nutrient deficiencies that, in turn, are shifting my metabolism from VERY flexible towards needing much more carbohydrates.

I assume most discomfort or pain is a signal by the body to help us prevent damage to ourselves. It sounds like this whole process is easily dealt with and casually cleared, so why is our body sending us the signal of discomfort? Is the signal an error or is there something going on we are being warned about?

I have a question pertaining to that subject. Oxygenation is required for the oxidative phosphorylation. Increased mitochondria within muscle cells improve VO2Max. How is the capillarisation of muscle fibres improved to increse overall oxygen supply and what drives that process. How do I train for improvement of capillarisation? Does it have anything to do with aerobic threshold and lactate build up? I hop[e I am not confusing things too much.

Very helpful video. Just to clarify, since lactate is a BASE and helps to buffer the hydrogen ions… is lactic acid a real substance that even exists? Or is it just an inaccurate term that people use to refer to lactate? Lactate clearly exists and has uses. Is Lactic acid something separate or just not a real substance and a term that should be avoided entirely?

@TheMovementSystem 3 жыл бұрын

Yes there’s oxygen available at rest but some muscle fibers are just very glycolytic and primarily produce lactate due to very low mitochondria. There are probably other reasons as well that I’m not aware of

@robinschafer597 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheMovementSystem Yes, lactate is a fuel and there is a tendency that lactate flows from glycolytic to oxidative fibres, eg heart muscle (lactate shuttle theory). But the point is, in exercise lack of oxygen is not required that pyruvate converts to lactate - the amount of lactate produced is a function of glycolysis.

I think that a little clarification is needed. You say that lactate is being produced at the same time as hydrogen ions and that lactate accepts a hydrogen ion. However in the video “Lactic acid doesn’t cause muscle burn” you spell out that pyruvate+hydrogen ions = lactate. Is lactate formed by pyruvate combining with hydrogen ions or does lactate attach to hydrogen ions in performing a clearance function?
