| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was designed to assess the relevance of lactate, which is an “exercise-induced physiological molecule”, on brain function such as cognitive function.
The treatment of lactate on the cultured neuron and animal with exercise training suggested the possibility that lactate might improve neuronal function. Furthermore, in the human study, we suggest that augmented lactate metabolism and neuronal activity may be important factors for exercise-induced improvement of cognitive function. These findings may provide insight into development of the effective ways of exercise training and/or nutritional support on cognitive function.
