Muscle tissue is the primary site of lactate production; its unique metabolic environment confers dynamism, specificity and functional diversity for lactylation. Under physiological conditions, lactylation regulates myocyte energy metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and exercise adaptation through a dynamic \u201cwriter\u2013eraser\u2013reader\u201d mechanism. In pathological states, lactate imbalance directly contributes to the progression of various muscular disorders. For instance, diminished histone lactylation during muscle aging suppresses the expression of genes critical for DNA repair and protein homeostasis. Aberrant lactylation is involved in the development of insulin resistance and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, lactylation exerts dual effects in cardiovascular diseases; it provides protection by enhancing the transcription of repair genes and simultaneously aggravates injury by promoting processes such as fibrosis and ferroptosis. Collectively, these findings underscore the importance of lactylation in muscular pathologies and provide a theoretical foundation for the development of therapies that target this modification process. As the regulatory mechanisms of lactylation have become clearer, precise interventions targeting specific modification sites are expected to open new therapeutic avenues for muscular diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom16020212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]],"date-time":"2026-01-30T14:35:46Z","timestamp":1769783746000},"page":"212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Progress of Research on the Metabolic Regulation of Lactylation in Muscle Tissues and Its Disease Associations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Zhihang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junxi","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guangrun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongbo","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaolin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shengbo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi 563099, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"566","DOI":"10.1038\/s42255-020-0243-4","article-title":"Lactate: The ugly duckling of energy metabolism","volume":"2","author":"Rabinowitz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nat.
