BACKGROUND A common functional missense mutation [Ala54Thr of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2)] has previously been studied for associations with glucoregulation, postprandial lipemia, and lipid oxidation rates. However, most of those studies have not accounted for the interactive and potentially confounding effects of habitual physical activity and diet. OBJECTIVE We tested the ...

Dietary proteins have been shown to stimulate thermogenesis, increase satiety, and improve insulin sensitivity in the short long term. Animal-based (AP) plant-based (PP) different amino acid profiles, bioavailability, digestibility, so it seems various short- long-term effects on metabolic responses. This review aimed compare findings of controlled clinical trials postprandial dietary Aps versu...

OBJECTIVE Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) has been associated with alterations in numerous coronary heart disease risk factors, including postprandial hyperlipidemia. An excess visceral adipose tissue accumulation is also predictive of IGT and of an exaggerated postprandial lipemia. The objective of the present study was therefore to compare the respective contributions of visceral adipose tis...

Microalbuminuria (MA) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Postprandial lipemia is also associated with excess cardiovascular risk. However, the association between MA and postprandial lipemia in diabetes has not been investigated. A total of 64 patients with T2DM, 30 with and 34 without MA, were examined. Plasma total triglycerides...

To determine whether the metabolism of diet-derived triglycerides (TG) is acutely regulated by the consumption of insulinogenic carbohydrates, we measured the effects of glucose ingestion on oral and intravenous fat tolerance, and on serum triglyceride concentrations obtained during duodenal fat perfusion. Postprandial lipemia was diminished by the ingestion of 50 g (148 +/- 121 mg.dl-1 x 7 h-1...

Lipemia: A Possible Mechanism of Endothelial Protection? To the Editor: We wish to propose a novel hypothesis of how exercise may beneficially modulate endothelial function. The benefit of exercise in the prevention of cardiovascular disease is undisputed, but the underlying mechanisms responsible for this beneficial effect, which are independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, rema...

Diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with abnormal postprandial lipoprotein metabolism, with a significant delay in the clearance of many lipid parameters, including triglycerides and chylomicrons. Abnormal concentrations of plasma lipids can result from changes in the production, conversion, or catabolism of lipoprotein particles. Whereas the liver is involved in controlling serum li...

BACKGROUND The transient rise in blood lipids following a high-fat meal (HFM), known as postprandial lipemia, is linked to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease, but can be blunted by exercise. However, minimal research has investigated the effects of realistic exercise bouts on postprandial lipemia and inflammation in at-risk individuals. The purpose of this study was to assess the ...
