Since the lipid profile is altered by physical activity, the study of lipid metabolism is a
remarkable element in understanding if and how physical activity affects the health of both …

ABSTRACT SPRIET, LL Regulation of skeletal muscle fat oxidation during exercise in
humans. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 34, No. 9, pp. 1477–1484, 2002. Fat and carbohydrate …

Increased physical activity is an optimal way to maintain a good health. During exercise,
triacylglycerols, an energy reservoir in adipose tissue, are hydrolyzed to free fatty acids …

This is the first part in a series of three articles about fat metabolism during exercise. In this
part the mobilization of fatty acids and their metabolism will be discussed as well as the …

By far the largest energy reserve in the human body is adipose tissue triglycerides, and
these reserves are an important source of fuel during prolonged endurance exercise. To use …

Fat and carbohydrate are important fuels for aerobic exercise and there can be reciprocal
shifts in the proportions of carbohydrate and fat that are oxidized. The interaction between …

Lipids as fuel for energy provision originate from different sources: albumin-bound long-
chain fatty acids (LCFA) in the blood plasma, circulating very-low-density lipoproteins …

Skeletal muscle constitutes 40% of body mass and takes up 80% of a glucose load.
Therefore, impaired glucose removal from the circulation, such as that which occurs in …

Physical activity and exercise are key components of energy expenditure and therefore of
energy balance. Changes in energy balance alter fat mass. It is therefore reasonable to ask …

This part discusses the complex regulation of fat metabolism. Catecholamines as a
stimulator of lipolysis and insulin as a suppressor play very important roles in the regulation …
