Key effects of exercise training on pathways that influence IHL content
|
Plasma NEFA |
• Increase in plasma NEFA uptake by skeletal muscle |
• Some evidence for decrease in fasting and/or postprandial plasma NEFA |
Dietary TAG |
• Increase in LPL-mediated TAG uptake by skeletal muscle |
• Decrease in HL-mediated TAG uptake by liver |
DNL |
• Decrease in plasma insulin, a key player for the activation of DNL |
• In diabetes, exercise can decrease plasma glucose and hence decrease DNL |
• Lower ACC and FAS protein content, indicative for decreased de novo lipolysis activity (rodent data) |
VLDL metabolism |
• Decrease in hepatic VLDL–ApoB-100 and VLDL–TAG secretion, possibly as a consequence of lower hepatic TAG accumulation |
Mitochondrial oxidation |
• Increase in hepatic CS, β-HAD and Cyt c, indicative for increases in hepatic mitochondrial content and oxidative phosphorylation (rodent data) |
