"Though the mammary glands of human males cannot produce milk automatically under natural conditions, with appropriate hormonal stimulus---mimicking that which human females produce naturally when they become pregnant and give birth---they can"
In summary, yes, it is possible, but not under normal natural circumstances.

However, this is only or humans, several other males of mammalian species, can lactate, such as several bat species and goats.

What does lactate mean in a cerebrospinal analysis?
The CSF lactate is used mainly to help differentiate bacterial and fungal meningitis, which cause increased lactate, from viral meningitis, which does not.
What organs are capable of turning lactate in glucose?
The conversion of lactate to glucose (see gluconeogenesis ) takes place almost exclusively in the liver, but lactate can be metabolized by the kidney and nervous tissue as well.
What is the relation between lactate threshold and ventilatory threshold?
They both are reached are approx the same time, it is thought to be that the large change (drop) in blood pH when the lactate threshold is reached is causes ventilation to increase rapidly to try and counteract this blood pH change. The lactate threshold itself is just the point at which lactate removal can no longer keep up with lactate production.
Is Sodium lactate agar selective?
yes, it selects for microbes that can grow in a sodium environment and ferment lactate
What cellular process releases ATP by breaking down glucose into lactate?
Anaerobic cellular respiration breaks down glucose into lactate
Do mens nippels lactate?
Men's nipples can lactate, but not under normal circumstances. This is often associated with the use of human growth hormone and can even be an indicator of cancer.
Can shemale lactate?
Any mammal can lactate with the right amount of hormones and development. So in short answer to your question, yes, it is quite possible for shemales (men) to lactate if given the correct dose or estrogen, progestin, and/or estradiol for an extended period of time and then given the hormone Prolactin and oxytosin. Even you could lactate if given this hormone regiment. This is not to say ALL shameles can lactate because many breast implants will destroy the milk ducts.
What does lactate cause?
Lactate threshold is caused when lactate production exceeds lactate clearance during exercise or increasing intensity.
How is it possible for a man to pass the ability to lactate to his daughters?
it might not be the dominant gene but men still have certain genes. plus, don't forget women will have this gene also and so this is where the daughter gains the ability to lactate.
What is the name enzymes that catalyzes the formation of lactate during lactate fermentation?
lactate dehydrogenase
Is it possible for a man to lactate?
Yes, a man can lactate for many different reasons. There are tumours that can form on the pituitary gland which increase secretion of the hormone that induces lactation. There is even simple nipple stimulation which has been known to make males lactate. There are also several types of medication which can cause increase of breast tissue and lactation in men as side effects.
Which of the following are true about lactate dehydrogenase?
Correct answer: I, II, III and IV
Is L-lactate a chiral molecule?
By writing "L-lactate" you basically answered your own question, yes, it is. It is the "left oriented" lactate :)
Do men?
Very rarely, men have been known to lactate. It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to, unless you began as an anatomical woman, and improbable, even then, if you're not the birth parent.

What kind of an acid is lactate?
Lactate acid is a chemical compound that plays a role in various biochemical processes. Lactate is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C3H603.
