The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exercise intensity on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Concentrations of triglyceride, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and its subfractions (HDL2-C and HDL3-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, and B were measured. Ten well-trained runners completed treadmill exercise on two different occasions: a high-intensity session at 75% maximal oxygen consumption lasting 60 min and a low-intensity session at 50% maximal oxygen consumption lasting 90 min. Energy expenditure for each session was equal. Fasted blood samples were obtained 24 h before, immediately before, immediately after, and 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after each exercise session. No significant differences were found for the blood variables across time or between treatments. However, HDL-C and HDL2-C were slightly elevated on the days after each treatment. These results suggest that acute exercise sessions lasting less than 90 min, regardless of intensity, do not elicit plasma lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein changes in men who are habitually physically active and have high initial concentrations of HDL-C.

Background and Objective: Yoghurt, especially bio-yoghurt has long been recognized as a product with many health benefits for consumers. Also, honey and olive oil have considerable nutritional and health effects. So, the effect of administration of yoghurt made using ABT culture and fortified with honey (2 and 6%), olive oil (1 and 4%) or honey + olive oil (2+1 and 6+4% respectively) on some biological and hematological properties of rats was investigated.Methods:The body weight gain, serum lipid level, blood glucose level, serum creatinine level, Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) activity, Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT) activity, leukocytes and lymphocytes counts of rats were evaluated.Results:Blending of bio-yoghurt with rats' diet improved body weight gain. Concentrations of Total plasma Cholesterol (TC), High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), Very Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) and Triglycerides (TG) significantly lowered in plasma of rats fed bio-yoghurt. Levels of TC, LDL, VLDL, and TG also decreased in rat groups feed bio-yoghurt supplemented with honey and olive oil. LDL concentrations were reduced by 10.32, 18.51, 34.17, 22.48, 43.30% in plasma of rats fed classic starter yoghurt, ABT yoghurt, ABT yoghurt contained 6% honey, ABT yoghurt contained 4% olive oil and ABT yoghurt contained 6% honey + 4% olive oil respectively. The blood glucose, serum creatinine, GOT and GPT values of rats decreased while white blood cells and lymphocytes counts increased by feeding bioyoghurt contained honey and olive oil.Conclusion:The findings enhanced the multiple therapeutic effects of bio-yoghurt supplemented with honey and olive oil.
