Lactate is known as the end product of anaerobic glycolysis, a pathway that is of key importance during high intensity exercise. Instead of being a waste product lactate is now regarded as a valuable substrate that significantly contributes to the energy production of heart, non-contracting muscles and even brain. The recent cloning of monocarboxylate transporters, a conserved protein family that transports lactate through biological membranes, has given a new insight into the role of lactate in whole body metabolism. This paper reviews current literature on lactate and monocarboxylate transporters with special reference to horses.
乳酸是无氧糖酵解的终产物,无氧糖酵解在高强度运动中起着关键作用。乳酸现在不再被视为一种废物,而是一种有价值的底物,对心脏、非收缩性肌肉甚至大脑的能量产生有显著贡献。单羧酸转运蛋白是一个保守的蛋白质家族,可通过生物膜转运乳酸,最近对其进行的克隆为乳酸在全身代谢中的作用提供了新的见解。本文综述了有关乳酸和单羧酸转运蛋白的现有文献,特别提及了马。
