In addition, the timing of the exercise session may be related to the magnitude of the TG response. For example, we have observed that exercising several hours before a high fat meal has a greater effect than exercising after the meal. Recently we have been examining the mechanism of exercise induced changes in lipoproteins by measuring fat handling enzymes such as lipoprotein lipase. One of the primary factors related to this disease is atherosclerosis or blocking of arteries which supply vital organs such as the heart. Obesity also is associated with CV disease.
Exercise helps reduce body fat and prevent atherosclerosis.
Exercise may prevent CV disease by reducing the amount of fat that is available in tissue and blood. Examining the interaction of different types of fat in a meal with exercise.
