Effects of one single bout of low-intensity exercise on postprandial lipaemia in type 2 diabetic men.
Fighting type 2 diabetes and its high risk of CVD, lifestyle intervention with diet and exercise is of uttermost importance. Epidemiological studies strongly suggest an inverse association between increased physical activity, moderate alcohol drinking and the incidence of both type 2 diabetes and CVD. However, alcohol is known to increase postprandial lipaemia, a risk marker of CVD, and exercise to reduce postprandial lipaemia in healthy individuals. The aim of the present study was to investigate how type 2 diabetic men respond, in the postprandial period, to a single exercise session feasible to perform on a daily basis for type 2 diabetic men. The twelve participants ingested a test meal containing 100 g butter, 50 g carbohydrate, together with 40 g alcohol, at each meal test, imitating a social meal situation. Two protocols included exercise sessions with 40 min at 40% VO2max, one where they exercised 3.5 h after, and another the afternoon before the test meal. One protocol was without any exercise. No significant effect of low-intensity exercise on postprandial lipaemia following a fat-rich meal with alcohol was seen in the middle-aged type 2 diabetic men.
