A new study published in Nature Metabolism challenges the common perception that high lactate levels are bad for athletes. Lactate is found to be a normal product of metabolic activity, and it plays a crucial role in managing glucose levels after consuming carbohydrates.
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that 5-aminolevulinic acid can selectively boost Complex II and IV to counteract Complex I deficiency, a common cause of mitochondrial disorders. This finding offers new hope for the development of treatments for debilitating conditions such as MELAS syndrome.
A study of 851 patients found that metabolic acidosis was associated with a higher mortality rate compared to non-acidosis patients. Lactic acidosis and SIG acidosis were identified as independent predictors of hospital mortality in critically ill patients.
