The influence of moderate exercise on lipoprotein metabolism in fasted and postprandial states
thesis
posted on 2018-04-06, 10:03 authored by Heather E. AldredThis thesis examines the influence of moderate exercise, attainable by a large
percentage of the population, on lipoprotein metabolism in the fasted and postprandial
states in normolipidaemic subjects.
A cross-sectional study in middle-aged men and women (endurance athletes,
recreational exercisers and sedentary controls) revealed that the more favourable fasted
blood lipid profiles found in athletes were also apparent in recreational exercisers, with
higher high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations in female (1.94 v 1.57
mmol.l-1, p<0.05), but not male (1.50 v 1.34 mmol.l-1 NS), recreational exercisers
than sedentary controls. HDLz cholesterol concentrations were higher in both male
(26%, p<0.05) and female (42%, p<0.01) recreational exercisers than controls. [Continues.]
