title: Postprandial lipemia in endurance-trained people during a short interruption to training.
abstract: This study examined changes in postprandial lipemia in endurance-trained people during a short interruption to training. Nine men and one woman (ages 18-55 yr) undertook fat tolerance tests after 15 h, 60 h, and 6.5 days without exercise. The test meal (1.2 g fat, 1.1 g carbohydrate, 66 kJ/kg body mass) was consumed after a 12-h fast. Postprandial lipemia increased rapidly with detraining (area under plasma triacylglycerol vs. time curve: 8.42 +/- 1.40, 11. 35 +/- 1.38, and 11.97 mM x 6 h at 15 h, 60 h and 6.5 days, respectively). In the fasted state, plasma triacylglycerol concentration (0.85 +/- 0.15, 1.09 +/- 0.12, and 1.10 +/- 0.11 mM at 15 h, 60 h and 6.5 days, respectively) and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol increased with detraining. Values were significantly higher at 60 h and 6.5 days than values at 15 h ( P < 0.05) for each of these three variables. The serum insulin response was higher ( P < 0.05) at 6.5 days than at 15 h (81.6 +/- 11.3, 87.6 +/- 11.4, and 94.5 +/- 9.4 microIU/ml x 6 h at 15 h, 60 h, and 6.5 days, respectively). Frequent exercise is needed to maintain a low level of postprandial lipemia and insulinemia in trained people.
