The effect of training and diet on lipoprotein cholesterol, tissue lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triglyceride lipase in rats.
Treadmill training for 1 hr/day for 10 wk did not significantly affect chylomicron, very low density, low density, or high density lipoprotein cholesterol in rats fed either a high carbohydrate (glucose) or high fat (coconut oil) diet. Lipoprotein lipase activity of heart, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle fibers was also unaffected by training. Carbohydrate feeding, however, when compared to fat feeding significantly lowered all lipoprotein cholesterol values as well as heart and fast-oxidative-glycolytic muscle fiber lipase activity and, conversely, significantly elevated hepatic triglyceride lipase activity. Thus, in the rat, an alteration in the serum lipid profile did not occur as a result of training, but dietary differences did independently influence serum lipid levels and tissue enzyme activity. It is suggested that human studies need to control for the possible independent influence of dietary differences when investigating the effects of training on lipoprotein metabolism.
