Super interesting article! Would be really interested to see how this connects with the sport science research on lactate for endurance athletes. In elite cycling managing and training lactate usage is a really key focus, and likewise for pw diabetes excercise seems to have very positive effects (although granted basically everyone gets a lot of benefits from excercise).

What predictions does the lactate shuttle model make? Surprising this is still up in the air 40 years later! It does feel like there’s a general trend of “useless” stuff being found to have an important purpose in biology.
