    During intense exercise, lactate has been estimated to provide a third of the brain's energy needs. [39] [42] There is evidence that the brain might, however, in spite of these alternative sources of energy, still suffer an energy crisis since IL-6 (a sign of metabolic stress) is released during exercise from the brain.
