Does Co-administration of Lactate Affect Postprandial Nutrient Absorption and Fat Disposition?
Trial Parameters

Aim To investigate the effects of oral lactate administration on nutrient absorption and substrate utilization in individuals with pre-diabetes. Hypothesis The addition of lactate to a meal improves postprandial lipemia and reduces lipid storage in ectopic tissues through delayed absorption and faster removal of circulating lipids from circulation.
