We studied the role of lactate in gluconeogenesis (GNG) during exercise in untrained fasting humans. During the final hour of a 4-h cycle exercise at 33-34% maximal O(2) uptake, seven subjects received, in random order, either a sodium lactate infusion (60 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) or an isomolar sodium bicarbonate infusion. The contribution of lactate to gluconeogenic glucose was quantified...

Blood Glucose Monitoring In article number 2208820, Qiao Jiang, Baoquan Ding, Yan Wu, Ran Liu, and co-workers describe a fluorescence-amplified origami microneedle (FAOM) device for quantitatively monitoring blood glucose. Through collaboratively integrating the advantages of fluorescence imaging, DNA origami, patch, FAOM can monitor glucose in real-time trivially painful, highly sensitive accu...
