Abstract:The accumulation of metabolites in the intervertebral disc is considered to be an important cause of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Lactate, which is a metabolite that is produced by cellular anaerobic glycolysis, has been proven to be closely associated with IVDD. However, little is known about the role of lactate in nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) senescence and oxidative stress. This study attempted to investigate the effect of lactate on NPC senescence and oxidative stress as well as the underlying m… Show more
