Scientists track Lactate's journey inside red blood cells during workouts
NCT ID NCT06104150
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how lactate, a substance produced during exercise, moves between blood plasma and red blood cells. Researchers will test 84 healthy people (both trained athletes and sedentary individuals) during interval cycling. They will also check if a genetic variation affects this process. The goal is to better understand energy metabolism, not to test a treatment.
