The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (GPLC) supplementation and endurance training for 8 wk on aerobic- and anaerobic-exercise performance in healthy men and women (age 18-44 yr). Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: placebo (n=9), 1 g/d GPLC (n=11), or 3 g/d GPLC (n=12), in a double-blind fashion. Muscle carnitine (vastus latera...

due to an increase in obesity, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of endurance training on body weight, food intake, plasma acylated ghrelin and pyy3-36 in obese male rats. 16 male wistar rats were fed for 9 weeks with a high fat diet (derived from soybean oil) until they reached mean weight of 319±30 g. the rats were randomly divided into control group (n=8) and...

The effect of endurance training on plasma leptin levels was investigated in 15 obese male subjects (age 37.3 ± 5.2 yr, body weight 96.5 ± 13.6 kg, and body mass index 29.8 ± 3.0 kg/m2) in a weight loss and exercise program. After 4 mo of treatment consisting of a very low energy diet (VLED) and endurance exercise training (3-4 times weekly, 1 h sessions, moderate intensity), two groups were fo...
