ZigZAGging through Fat Stores

Mobilisation of enterocyte fat stores by oral glucose in humans.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS When a high fat oral load is followed several hours later by further ingestion of nutrients, there is an early postprandial peak in plasma triacylglycerol (TG). The aim of this study was to investigate the location and release of lipid from within the gastrointestinal tract. METHODS Ten healthy patients undergoing oesopho-gastro-duodenoscopy (OGD) were recruited. At t=0, a...

Fat balance in obese subjects: role of glycogen stores.

In a previous study, we showed that lean subjects are capable of rapidly adjusting fat oxidation to fat intake on a high-fat (HF) diet when glycogen stores are lowered by exhaustive exercise. However, it has been proposed that obese subjects have impaired fat oxidation. We therefore studied the effect of low glycogen stores on fat oxidation after a switch from a reduced-fat (RF) diet to an HF d...

Physical Distribution Service Quality through Iranian Convenience Stores Retailers Perspectives: a Mixed Method Approach

Due to the importance of Physical Distribution Service Quality (PDSQ) in logisticsystems, the purpose of this paper is to design a practical scale for measuring theconstruct through the perspectives of Iranian convenience store retailers. A mixedmethodapproach was employed for the study; in- depth interviews were first carriedout with 16 Iranian experienced retailers who actively had worked in ...

Vascular Insulin Resistance Through Fat

Endothelial dysfunction comprises a number of functional alterations in the vascular endothelium that are associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, including changes in vasoregulation, enhanced generation of reactive oxygen intermediates, inflammatory activation and altered barrier function. Hyperglycemia is a characteristic feature of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and plays a pivotal r...
