A. Determination of the blood lactate threshold (BLT) from a single rat during the incremental swimming test. Each dot indicates the blood lactate concentration (mmol/L) on the ordinate and the work overload on the abscissa. The BLT and workload were calculated with a second-order polynomial curve using Microsoft Excel®. The vertical arrow estimates the workload, and the horizontal arrow estimates the blood lactate concentration. B. Peripheral lactate concentration during exercise with a constant overload, which was estimated by BLT using the minimum blood lactate test. The results are expressed as the means ± standard deviation of 10 animals. * = different from the baseline (ANOVA, p <0.05).
