The effect of a single bout of exhaustive exercise on muscle lactate transport capacity was studied in rat skeletal muscle sarcolemmal (SL) vesicles. Rats were assigned to a control (C) group (n = 14) or an acutely exercised (E) group (n = 20). Exercise consisted of treadmill running (25 m/min, 10% grade) to exhaustion. SL vesicles purified from C and E rats were sealed because of sensitivity to osmotic forces. The time course of 1 mM lactate uptake in zero-trans conditions showed that the equilibrium level in the E group was significantly lower than in the C group (P < 0.05). The initial rate of 1 mM lactate uptake decreased significantly from 2.44 ± 0.22 to 1.03 ± 0.08 nmol · min-1 · mg protein-1 (P < 0.05) after exercise, whereas that of 50 mM lactate uptake did not differ significantly between the two groups. For 100 mM external lactate concentration ([lactate]), exhaustive exercise increased initial rates of lactate uptake (219.6 ± 36.3 to 465.4 ± 80.2 nmol · min-1 · mg protein-1, P < 0.05). Although saturation kinetics were observed in the C group with a maximal transport velocity of 233 nmol · min-1 · mg protein-1 and a Michealis-Menten constant of 24.5 mM, saturation properties were not seen after exhaustive exercise in the E group, because initial rates of lactate uptake increased linearly with external [lactate]. We conclude that a single bout of exhaustive exercise significantly modified SL lactate transport activity, resulting in a decrease in 1 mM lactate uptake and was associated with alterations in the saturable properties at [lactate] above 50 mM. These results suggest that changes in sarcolemmal lactate transport activity may alter lactate and proton exchanges after exhaustive exercise.
