Lactate Transport and Lactate Transporters in Skeletal Muscle

The study of lactate transport in skeletal muscle had until recently been hampered by the lack of suitable sarcolemmal vesicle preparations. Researchers are now at the threshold of developing some very new understandings about the movement of lactate into and out of skeletal muscle with (a) evidence for a lactate transport system in skeletal muscle, (b) the very recent cloning of several monocarboxylate transporter genes, (c) the expression of …
