To investigate the effects of serum saturated fatty acids (FAs) on human cholesterol metabolism, total-cholesterol (T-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), T-C/HDL-C ratio, and FA composition [myristic acid (MA, 14:0), palmitic acid (PA, 16:0) and stearic acid (SA, 18:0)] were determined in serum from 115 men and 120 women (20–70 years old). MA, PA and SA were expressed as percentages of serum total FAs. Using multivariate analysis to account for the confounding effects of age, body mass index, drinking, and smoking it was found that SA was negatively correlated with T-C and T-C/HDL-C ratio in both men and women. In men MA was negatively correlated with HDL-C, and in women SA was positively correlated with HDL-C. Although PA was the major component of serum saturated FAs, PA had no significant relation to any cholesterol indices in either sex. These results suggest that serum MA may aggravate and serum SA may improve cholesterol metabolism, thereby influencing the risk for ischaemic heart disease.

The effects of incremental exercise on appetite, energy intake (EI), expenditure (EE) and balance (EB) in lean men and women were examined. Six men (age 29·7 (sd5·9) years, weight 75·2 (sd15·3) kg, height 1·75 (sd0·11) m) and six women (age 24·7 (sd5·9) years, weight 66·7 (sd9·10) kg, height 1·70 (sd0·09) m) were each studied three times during a 16 d protocol, corresponding to no additional exercise (Nex), moderate-intensity exercise (Mex; 1·5–2·0 MJ/d) and high-intensity exercise (Hex; 3·0–4·0 MJ/d) regimens. Subjects were fed to EB during days 1–2, and during days 3–16 they fedad libitumfrom a medium-fat diet of constant composition. Daily EE, assessed using the doubly labelled water method, was 9·2, 11·6 and 13·7 MJ/d (P < 0·001;sed0·45) for the women and 12·2, 14·0 and 16·7 MJ/d (P = 0·007;sed1·11) for the men on the Nex, Mex and Hex treatments, respectively. EI was 8·3, 8·6 and 9·9 MJ/d (P = 0·118;sed0·72) for the women and 10·6, 11·6 and 12·0 MJ/d (P = 0·031;sed0·47) for the men, respectively. On average, subjects compensated for about 30 % of the exercise-induced energy deficit. However, the degree of compensation varied considerably among individuals. The present study captured the initial compensation in EI for exercise-induced energy deficits. Total compensation would take a matter of weeks.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English. Aerobic exercise can improve blood lipid status, homocysteine help for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on homocysteine and blood lipid status level. Eleven female students serve as the experiment subjects. They will do two hours of aerobic dancing without rest. They can drink water whenever they want. The intensity of exercise is between 55%~70% HRmax. Blood of the subjects will be drawn from the vein at pre-exercise, after exercise. Then the concentration of homocysteine, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol will be measured. The results showed that: After Aerobic dancing, homocysteine and triacylglycerol were significant higher (p<.05) than per exercise. LDL-cholesterol in the post Aerobic dancing was significant lower (p<.05) than pre exercise. There were no significant differences in HDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol between pre-exercise and post­exercise. The results indicated that moderate-intensity aerobic dancing can improve blood lipid status. 有氧運動可以預防心血管疾病,而同半胱胺酸都與心血管疾病有關,因此本研究的目的在探討單次有氧舞蹈前後對同半胱胺酸及血脂狀態的影響。本研究以十一位女性大學生為受試者,從事連續二小時的有氧舞蹈,運動期間並不休息,可自由飲水,並將運動強度控制在55%~70%最大心跳率。在運動前後測量血漿中同半胱胺酸、總膽固醇、三酸甘油酯、低密度脂蛋白膽固醇及高密度脂蛋白膽固醇。結果發現:有氧舞蹈後同半胱胺酸及三酸甘油脂顯著增加,低密度脂蛋白膽固醇運動後顯著降低,其他則沒有改變。顯示中等強度的有氧舞蹈可以改善血脂狀況。

Context:Regional fat distribution rather than overall obesity has been recognized as important to understanding the link between obesity and cardiovascular disease.Objective:We examined the associations of abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) with cardiovascular risk factors in a Caucasian population of men and women with normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes, or screen-detected diabetes.Design, Setting, and Participants:The study was based on cross-sectional analysis of data from 1412 adults age 45–80 years. VAT and SAT were assessed by ultrasound. The associations of VAT and SAT with blood pressure and lipids were examined by linear regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, glucose tolerance status (GTS), medication use, and body mass index. Effect modification by GTS and sex was examined, and stratified analyses performed.Results:Independent of SAT and overall obesity, VAT was associated with higher triglyceride and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels in both men and women and additionally associated with higher total cholesterol in men. SAT was independently associated with higher total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in both sexes, and SAT was additionally associated with higher triglyceride and lower HDL cholesterol levels in women and with higher blood pressure in participants with diabetes.Conclusion:Both abdominal VAT and SAT are independent of overall obesity associated with cardiovascular risk in a population of men and women at low to high risk of diabetes or with screen-detected diabetes.

There are fewer mitochondria and a reduced oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle in obesity. Moderate-intensity physical activity combined with weight loss increase oxidative enzyme activity in obese sedentary adults; however, this adaptation occurs without a significant increase in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is unlike the classic pattern of mitochondrial biogenesis induced by vigorous activity. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that the mitochondrial adaptation to moderate-intensity exercise and weight loss in obesity induces increased mitochondrial cristae despite a lack of mtDNA proliferation. Content of cardiolipin and mtDNA and enzymatic activities of the electron transport chain (ETC) and tricarboxylic acid cycle were measured in biopsy samples of vastus lateralis muscle obtained from sedentary obese men and women before and following a 4-mo walking intervention combined with weight loss. Cardiolipin increased by 60% from 47 ± 4 to 74 ± 8 μg/mU CK ( P < 0.01), but skeletal muscle mtDNA content did not change significantly (1,901 ± 363 to 2,169 ± 317 Rc, where Rc is relative copy number of mtDNA per diploid nuclear genome). Enzyme activity of the ETC increased ( P < 0.01); that for rotenone-sensitive NADH-oxidase (96 ± 1%) increased more than for ubiquinol-oxidase (48 ± 6%). Activities for citrate synthase and succinate dehydrogenase increased by 29 ± 9% and 40 ± 6%, respectively. In conclusion, moderate-intensity physical activity combined with weight loss induces skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis in previously sedentary obese men and women, but this response occurs without mtDNA proliferation and may be characterized by an increase in mitochondrial cristae.
