Popis: Summary In red blood cell membranes, the activity of the main lactate carrier, H+-monocarboxylate co-transporter (MCT), varies interindividually and its distribution is bimodal. To show the repeatability of MCT activity, 2 to 5 blood samples were taken, at an interval of approximately 1 year, from 51 Standardbred horses, age 2 weeks-8 years, for a total of 128 observations. The horses could be divided into low (LT) and high (HT) lactate transport activity groups. Age significantly affected (P
