When your muscles can't get enough oxygen during a short burst of exercise, they start to make use of a pathway called lactic acid fermentation, which generates a small three-carbon compound called lactic acid or lactate as a byproduct of glucose breakdown.
Nevertheless, lactate has been subject of study for many years and by important scientists including several Nobel Laureates. Lactate studies date back from the 19th century when a Nobel Laureate, Louis Pasteur in 1863 proposed that lactate was produced by lack of oxygen during muscle contraction.r. George Brooks, from the University of California at Berkeley, and one of the best experts in metabolism of all times, has studied lactate extensively for more than 40 years and most of everything we know about lactate nowadays is thanks to his work.
