The Role of Lactate in Fatigue
There are some experiments on rat muscle contractions that show that lactic acid now the actual acid version and uh propanoic acid also actually restores force production of fatigue and muscles.

The simple thing about our bodies was discovered by the Greeks pretty much and after that gets much more complicated very quickly. If you if you've ever studied any sort of pathways signal pathways or metabolic pathways i am more than happy to do a consultation or to start a patreon or something like that where i go through all of these pathways.
