Administration of substrates of energy metabolism in combination with hypoxen (sulfur-containing oligoquinone) promoted the increase in blood lactate concentration during maximum exercise, accelerated lactate utilization, and reduced the lactate/pyruvate ratio during recovery. The in vivo effects are in line with hypoxen capacity to accelerate in vitro oxidation of exogenous NADH in mitochondria by the non-rotenone-dependent pathway realized with participation of cytochrome C.
