The aim of this study was to examine the effects of lactate administration on the mRNA response of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) to acute exercise in Thoroughbred skeletal muscle. Five Thoroughbred horses performed treadmill running at 90% of maximal oxygen consumption for 2 min on two separate occasions, either after the administration of two litres of a sodium lactate solution (LAC; 500 mmol/l sodium lactate in 0.9% NaCl) or a saline solution as a control (CON; 0.9% NaCl). Lactate administration significantly elevated the peak plasma lactate concentration during exercise (16.0±2.8 mmol/l in LAC vs 10.8±2.2 mmol/l in CON). The increase in PGC-1α mRNA expression after 4 h of recovery from exercise was similar between treatments. However, there was positive correlation between exercise-induced PGC-1α mRNA response at 4 h after exercise and peak plasma lactate concentration during exercise. These results suggest that the exercise intensity-dependent adaptation of PGC-1α may be attributed, at least in part, to an increased lactate concentration.
