Harnessing Lactate: The Secret to Enhanced Glucose Uptake

Lactate signals muscles to increase glucose uptake by boosting GLUT4 transporter levels, enhancing energy utilization during intense exercise. Although lactate levels normalize within 20 minutes post-exercise, this elevation in glucose transporters can persist for up to 48 hours, significantly impacting glucose homeostasis. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) effectively leverages this mechanism to improve body composition, with optimal results emerging from workouts of at least eight weeks, conducted three times per week, involving intense intervals of 60 seconds or less followed by 90 seconds of recovery.
