Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the context of lipid metabolism research in physical activity, lipolysis, lipolysis hormone regulation and the fate of lipolysis products in exercise, fatty acid transporters, some genes involved in lipid metabolism, effect of resistance activity on lipolysis, adaptations of adipose tissue due to physical activity, lipoproteins and apoproteins and the effect of physical activity and to achieve a desirable conclusion and provide more relevant information from previous research. In this study, articles were searched in specialized databases and 40 related articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the molecular adaptations of lipolysis to physical activity were investigated. The amount of free fatty acid occurrence can be measured by estimating the amount of lipolysis. Fatty acids released from adipose tissue lipolysis form a major part of the active fuel, especially when the duration of training is long and the intensity is low to moderate. Physical activity through the release of more epinephrine from the adrenal glands and norepinephrine from the sympathetic nerve endings increases the rate of lipolysis of adipose tissue.  Also, aerobic activity increases the genes involved in lipid metabolism and lipolysis. The present study showed that the intensity and duration of training, diet and training positions influence lipolysis and lipid metabolism. The amount of adipose tissue lipolysis is controlled by triacylglycerol hormone-sensitive lipase. Resistance activity stimulates stimulating growth hormone, catecholamines, and enzymes involved in the lipolysis process. Endurance training also reduces the number of fat cells and reduces plasma triacylglycerol concentrations.

Molecular mechanisms of vascular adaptations to exercise. Physical activity as an effective antioxidant therapy?

A lack of exercise training and/or regular physical activity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Exercise training induces marked vascular remodeling by increasing angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. These changes in the architecture of the vascular tree are likely associated with functional changes and improved organ blood flow. Physical forces such as shear stress, transmural pres...

Cardiovascular adaptations to physical training.

The principal features of the cardiovascular responses to endurance training in normal subjects were well documented by the late 1960s (2, 23, 35, 84, 88) and are illustrated in Table 1. They include an increase in maximal oxygen uptake, stroke volume, and cardiac output with no change or a small decrease in maximal heart rate. Systemic vascular conductance increases and there is also an increa...

Molecular adaptations to concurrent training.

This study investigated the chronic effects of concurrent training (CT) on morphological and molecular adaptations. 37 men (age=23.7±5.5 year) were divided into 4 groups: interval (IT), strength (ST) and concurrent (CT) training and a control group (C) and underwent 8 weeks of training. Maximum strength (1RM) and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) were evaluated before and after training. Muscle...

Molecular epidemiology of physical activity and cancer.

As in other areas of epidemiology, researchers studying physical activity and cancer have begun to include laboratory analyses of biological specimens in their studies. The incorporation of these "biomarkers" into epidemiology has been termed molecular epidemiology and is an approach primarily developed to study chemical carcinogens. Thus far, there has been no discussion in the field on how th...

Dietary and physical activity adaptations to alternate day modified fasting: implications for optimal weight loss

BACKGROUND Alternate day modified fasting (ADMF) is an effective strategy for weight loss in obese adults. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the dietary and physical activity adaptations that occur during short-term ADMF, and to determine how these modulations affect rate of weight loss. METHODS Sixteen obese subjects (12 women/4 men) completed a 10-week trial consisting ...
