Exercise-mimicking effect of exogenous lactate administration: Promoting visceral fat reduction via ventromedial hypothalamic SF-1 neurons in female rats.

Lactate, a metabolic product of high-intensity training, may possess exercise-mimicking effects that promote fat loss via the hypothalamic-adipose axis, yet its neuronal targets remain unclear. This study investigated whether lactate administration mimics HIT-induced fat loss through steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) neuro...
