چکیده

We examined the impact of three lipid lowering drugs on fat oxidation during a 120 minute treadmill walk, at an exercise intensity of 50% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Subjects (N = 24) were healthy male volunteers with normal serum chemistry, assigned to three groups (n = 8). Group A received simvastatin 20 mg twice daily, Group B received gemfibrozil 600 mg twice daily, Group C received acipimox 600 mg twice daily. Each subject performed two 120 minute walks, once with drug, and once with placebo (4 days treatment plus a final dose on the morning of the exercise trial). Treatment order was reversed for half of each group. Compared to placebo, simvastatin treatment, had no impact on fat oxidation (40.9 +/- 8.6% vs 40.9 +/- 9.7%), or on plasma concentration of free fatty acids (FFA), glycerol or glucose. Treatment with gemfibrozil, showed lower fat oxidation (32.3 +/- 13.9% vs 39.7 +/- 7.9%), and lower plasma concentrations of FFA and glycerol, but differences did not reach significance at the 0.05 level. Acipimox treatment, produced significantly lower fat oxidation (36.9 +/- 12.8% vs 50.2 +/- 16.1%, P = 0.011), and lower plasma concentrations of FFA and glycerol (P = < 0.0001 and P = < 0.0001, respectively). Plasma glucose showed a trend toward lower values with acipimox (P = 0.088). These data demonstrate that selective lipid lowering drugs can reduce fat availability for exercise metabolism, placing increased demands on carbohydrates which may reduce exercise tolerance.

Effect of short-term green tee (Matcha) supplementation on fat oxidation during progressive exercise on the treadmill in obese women

 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term green tea (matcha) supplementation on fat burning rate during exercise in obese women. The subjects of this study were 10 obese women (36.8±4.7 yrs, BMI 32.6±5.9 kg/m2, weight 83.4±1.9 kg). Subjects consumed 1 g/day matcha for 7 days. An incremental exercise test on a treadmill was performed before and after the supplementation ...

Maximal Lipid Oxidation (Fatmax) in Physical Exercise and Training: A review and Update

The exercise intensity, at which the maximal fat oxidation (MFO) rate occurs, has been defined as Fatmax. It has been suggested that the fat oxidation rate during the Fatmax intensity is approximately 2-fold greater than at any other intensity although modifiable by several physiological conditions (training, previous exercise or meal). There are a few standardized protocols for estimating of F...

The Effect of Chronic Intake of L-carnitine L-tartrate on Lipid Metabolism during Aerobic Exercise

Background & Aims: Despite 20 years of research, there is no compelling evidence about the effect of carnitine supplementation on improving physical performance in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of long term consumption of acute L-carnitine L-tartarate (LCLT) on fat metabolism and aerobic capacity. Methods: A total of 28 healthy nonathlete male students rece...

Despite Affordability, Low Utilization of Lipid Lowering Drugs in Iran: Trend Analysis and Benchmarking 2005-2016

Dyslipidemia is responsible for great mortality and morbidity each year. Little data are available on the availability and affordability of Dyslipidemia medications in low and middle incomes countries. In a retrospective time-series study, we examined the utilization pattern and affordability of lipid-lowering medications in Iran as a lower middle-income country. We initially calculated the def...
