During vigorous exercise lactic acid (lactate) levels increase in the blood and during fasting and extended exercise the levels of the ketone BHB (b-hydroxybutyrate) increase. In this episode I talk with Stanford University professor Jonathan Long about his recent discovery that lactate and BHB in the blood are bound to the amino acid phenylalanine and that they (Lac-Phe and BHB-Phe) have beneficial effects on metabolic and brain health. Lac-Phe levels increase markedly in response to exercise in mice, humans, and race horses. Peripheral administration of Lac-Phe in suppresses food intake and reverses diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Genetic ablation of Lac-Phe biosynthesis causes hyperphagy and obesity even in exercising mice showing a critical role for Lac-Phe in the beneficial effects of exercise. BHB-Phe has similar effects on food intake and metabolic health. We talk about the potential benefits of Lac-Phe and BHB-Phe for brain health and resilience.
