The present study compared the metabolic responses between a single low-carbohydrate (LC) and low-fat (LF) meal followed by an aerobic exercise bout in females. Subjects included 8 active, premenopausal females. Subjects completed a LC and LF testing session. Respiratory gas exchange (RER) measurements were taken for 20 min fasted, for 55 min postprandial (PP), and during 30 min of exercise. Bl...

Carbohydrate metabolism by four rat hepatoma cell lines in culture, namely, Reuber H35, MH1C1, RLC, and HTC, has been investigated. Glucose utilization by H35 and MH1C1 cells is lower than that by RLC and HTC cells. The four cell lines also differ with respect to the accumulation of lactic acid in the growth medium; in particular, H35 cells show uptake of lactic acid, rather than accumulation i...

The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family is composed of a wide variety of cation-permeable channels activated polymodally by various stimuli and is implicated in a variety of cellular functions. Recent investigations have revealed that activation of TRP channels is involved not only in nociception and thermosensation but also in thermoregulation and energy metabolism. We investigat...
