Abstract |
Ectopic lipids are fuel stores in non-adipose tissues (skeletal muscle [intramyocellular lipids; IMCL], liver [intrahepatocellular lipids; IHCL] and heart [intracardiomyocellular lipids; ICCL]). IMCL can be depleted by physical activity. Preliminary data suggest that aerobic exercise increases IHCL. Data on exercise-induced changes on ICCL is scarce. Increased IMCL and IHCL have been related to insulin resistance in skeletal muscles and liver, whereas this has not been documented in the heart. The aim of this study was to assess the acute effect of aerobic exercise on the flexibility of IMCL, IHCL and ICCL in insulin-sensitive participants in relation to fat availability, insulin sensitivity and exercise capacity. |
