Inferences • Lactate mediates some “off target” exercise effects • Neurogenesis • Bioenergetic infrastructure changes • Some lactate effects mediated via mass action • Lactate may act as partial “exercise mimetic” • More intense exercise has bigger brain effect? • Relevance to exercise-in-AD trials • Different exercise regimens worth testing in AD • Lactate perhaps worth testing in AD
