Abstract

Background: The notion of mitochondrial lactate oxidation in skeletal muscle is controversial. Results: Mitochondrial respiration increased in the presence of substrates and cofactors for the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reaction. Respiration was inhibited when mitochondrial pyruvate transport was blocked. Conclusion: Extra-matrix LDH is associated with muscle mitochondria. Significance: LDH is strategically positioned within skeletal muscle fibers to functionally interact with mitochondria.
