Low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and, in the United States, are often associated with hypertriglyceridemia and obesity. In Turkey, low HDL-C levels are highly prevalent, 53% of men and 26% of women having HDL-C levels <35 mg/dl, in the absence of hypertriglyceridemia and obesity. In this study to investigate the cause of low HDL-C levels in Turks, various factors affecting HDL metabolism were assessed in normotriglyceridemic Turkish men and women living in Istanbul and in non-Turkish men and women living in San Francisco. Turkish men and women had significantly lower HDL-C levels than the San Francisco men and women, as well as markedly lower apolipoprotein A-I levels (25 and 39 mg/dl lower, respectively). In both Turkish and non-Turkish subjects, the mean body mass index was <27 kg/m2, the mean triglyceride level was <120 mg/dl, and the mean total cholesterol was 170-180 mg/dl. The mean hepatic triglyceride lipase activity was 21% and 31% higher in Turkish men and women, respectively, than in non-Turkish men and women, and remained higher even after subjects with a body mass index >50th percentile for men and women in the United States were excluded from the analysis. As no dietary or behavioral factors have been identified in the Turkish population that account for increased hepatic triglyceride lipase activity, the elevation most likely has a genetic basis. high density lipoprotein in a normotriglyceridemic, nonobese Turkish population. 相似文献

Rats fed a fat-free diet containing no drug, 0.02% or 0.10% halofenate, or 0.25% clofibrate for 14 days were injected intravenously with equivalent amounts of either [2-3H]glycerol or [1(3)-3H]glycerol. Blood samples were collected at times up to 150 min after injection and serum triglycerides were isolated and assayed for radioactivity. Kinetic analysis of the serum appearance and clearance curves of 3H-labeled triglyceride permits estimation of serum total 3H-labeled triglyceride formation and triglyceride fractional turnover rates. The total amounts of 3H-labeled triglyceride formed from [2-3H] or from [1(3)-3H] glycerol in control-fed animals were very similar. Over 95% of the serum 3H-labeled triglyceride formed from either substrate circulated in a rapidly turning-over triglyceride pool (t1/2 = 8 min). Treatment with 0.10% halofenate or 0.25% clofibrate decreased labeling of serum triglycerides by 75-80% without increasing serum 3H-labeled triglyceride fractional turnover rates. Furthermore, both drugs decreased incorporation in vivo of 14C from [U-14C]glycerol into hepatic but not intestinal triglycerides without significantly decreasing incorporation of 14C into total phospholipids of either tissue. From these observations we suggest that, in the intact normal rat, sustained reduction of serum triglyceride levels produced by treatment with halofenate or clofibrate is due to inhibition of hepatic triglyceride formation. 相似文献

The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) has been proposed to play a role in the delivery of fatty acids to peripheral tissues. However, despite reduced adipose tissue mass in VLDLR-deficient (VLDLR(-)(/-)) mice, this has been difficult to substantiate. In the present study, VLDLR-deficient and VLDLR-overexpressing (PVL) mice were cross-bred onto a low density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDLR(-)(/-)) background to study the VLDLR under conditions of relatively high serum VLDL and triglyceride levels. Absence of the VLDLR resulted in a significant increase in serum triglyceride levels (1.9-fold) when mice were fed a high fat diet. In contrast, overexpression of the VLDLR resulted in a significant decrease in serum triglyceride levels (2.0-fold) under similar conditions. When kept on a chow diet, a period of prolonged fasting revealed a significant increase in serum triglyceride levels in VLDLR(-)(/-); LDLR(-)(/-) mice (2.3-fold) as compared with LDLR(-)(/-) controls. This could not be attributed to altered apolipoprotein B and VLDL triglyceride production rates. Furthermore, no major differences in nascent VLDL triglyceride content were found between VLDLR(-)(/-); LDLR(-)(/-) mice and LDLR(-)(/-) controls. However, the triglyceride content of circulating VLDL of VLDLR(-)(/-); LDLR(-)(/-) mice (63%) was relatively high as compared with LDLR(-)(/-) controls (49%). These observations suggest that the VLDLR affects peripheral uptake of VLDL triglycerides.In conclusion, under conditions of LDLR deficiency in combination with high fat feeding or prolonged fasting, the effect of the VLDLR on VLDL triglyceride metabolism was revealed. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the therapeutic value of treatment with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor in women with hypoestrogenic hyperlipidemia caused by menopause. DESIGN: Fifty-six women with total cholesterol (TC) levels of 220 mg/dl or more who were within 7 years of menopause were randomly assigned to receive an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (pravastatin 10 mg/day; treated group, 26 patients) or no medical treatment (nontreated group, 30 patients) in this 6-month nonblinded prospective trial. RESULTS: In the treated group, the mean (SD) TC levels decreased significantly from 254.5+/-22.3 mg/dl at baseline to 204.7+/-22.2 mg/dl (19.6%), and the mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level decreased significantly from 146.7+/-30.5 to 104.3+/-22.5 mg/dl (28.9%); the mean arteriosclerotic index decreased significantly from 2.98 to 2.08 (30.2%). There were no significant changes in either triglyceride levels or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. In the nontreated group, there were no significant changes in the TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, or triglyceride levels; there was also no change in the arteriosclerotic index. After 6 months, the TC level, LDL-C level, and arteriosclerotic index were significantly lower in the treated group compared with the nontreated group (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor lowered TC and LDL-C levels and was useful in the treatment of hypoestrogenic hyperlipidemia for periods of at least 6 months. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To study the association between non-fasting serum triglyceride concentrations and mortality in women from coronary and cardiovascular disease and all causes. DESIGN--Follow up by ambulatory teams of men and women who underwent cardiovascular screening for a mean of 14.6 years. SETTING--National health screening service in Norway. SUBJECTS--25,058 men and 24,535 women aged 35-49 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE--Predictive value of non-fasting serum triglyceride concentrations. RESULTS--At initial screening total serum cholesterol concentration, serum triglyceride concentration, blood pressure, height, and weight were measured, and self reported information about smoking habits, physical activity, and time since last meal were recorded. During subsequent follow up 108 women died from coronary heart disease, 238 from cardiovascular diseases, and 931 from all causes. In women mortality increased steadily with increasing triglyceride concentration for all three causes of death. With the proportional hazards model and adjustment for age, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol concentration, time since last meal, and number of cigarettes a day the relative risk between triglyceride concentration > or = 3.5 mmol/l and < 1.5 mmol/l was 4.7 (95% confidence interval 2.5 to 8.9) for deaths from coronary heart disease, 3.0 (1.9 to 4.8) for deaths from cardiovascular disease, 2.3 (1.8 to 2.9) for total deaths in all women. CONCLUSIONS--A raised non-fasting concentration of triglycerides is an independent risk factor for mortality from coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and any cause mortality among middle aged Norwegian women in contrast to what is seen in men. 相似文献

Enzymatic triglyceride assays that generate glycerol from triglycerides as a part of the enzymatic process in quantitating serum triglyceride levels give elevated values when external free glycerol is present. Our objective was to develop an ultrafiltration technique that would remove exogenous and/or endogenous free glycerol from small aliquots of human cord sera so that accurate serum triglyceride values could be obtained with the commercially available triglyceride assay kits. Exogenous glycerol was completely removed from cord sera when the samples were washed twice with saline in Amicon Centricon-30 microconcentrators. This ultrafiltration technique lowered cord serum triglyceride levels significantly (P less than 0.001), but had no effect on cord total serum cholesterol levels. A comparison of washed and unwashed cord sera by either polyacrylamide or agarose gel electrophoresis indicated that the serum protein and lipoprotein profiles were not altered by the ultrafiltration process. 相似文献

There is strong epidemiological and laboratory evidence that vitamin D may be protective against colorectal neoplasia. Therefore, we sought to assess the relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels, dietary intake of vitamin D, and colorectal adenoma recurrence in our ursodeoxycholic acid trial. A total of 568 participants were randomly selected for analysis of serum 25(OH)D levels. The range of total 25(OH)D was 5.5-66.1 ng/ml, with a median of 25.6 ng/ml. After categorizing 25(OH)D levels into tertiles based on the population distribution, the adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for adenoma recurrence in the second and third tertiles were 0.88 (0.56-1.39) and 0.78 (0.49-1.24), respectively. The association between serum 25(OH)D and adenoma recurrence appeared to be stronger among women than men. As compared to those below the median value, women with serum 25(OH)D levels above the median had an OR (95% CI) of 0.59 (0.30-1.16); the corresponding OR (95% CI) for men was 0.95 (0.60-1.49). Analyses by dietary vitamin D intake revealed no statistically significant associations. In summary, the results of this study show a moderate, nonsignificant inverse association between serum 25(OH)D levels and reduced risk for colorectal adenoma recurrence, particularly among women. 相似文献

These studies were conducted to understand the relationship between measures of systemic free fatty acid (FFA) reesterification and regional FFA, glycerol, and triglyceride metabolism during fasting. Indirect calorimetry was used to measure fatty acid oxidation in six men after a 60-h fast. Systemic and regional (splanchnic, renal, and leg) FFA ([(3)H]palmitate) and glycerol ([(3)H]glycerol) kinetics, as well as splanchnic triglyceride release, were measured. The rate of systemic FFA reesterification was 366 +/- 93 micromol/min, which was greater (P < 0.05) than splanchnic triglyceride fatty acid output (64 +/- 6 micromol/min), a measure of VLDL triglyceride fatty acid export. The majority of glycerol uptake occurred in the splanchnic and renal beds, although some leg glycerol uptake was detected. Systemic FFA release was approximately double that usually present in overnight postabsorptive men, yet the regional FFA release rates were of the same proportions previously observed in overnight postabsorptive men. In conclusion, FFA reesterification at rest during fasting far exceeds splanchnic triglyceride fatty acid output. This indicates that nonhepatic sites of FFA reesterification are important, and that peripheral reesterification of FFA exceeds the rate of simultaneous intracellular triglyceride fatty acid oxidation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To examine whether cardiovascular risk factors in women are related to fetal and infant growth. DESIGN--Follow up study of women born 1923-30 whose birth weights and weights at one year were recorded. SETTING--Hertfordshire. SUBJECTS--297 women born and still living in East Hertfordshire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations during a standard oral glucose tolerance test; fasting plasma proinsulin and 32-33 split proinsulin concentrations; blood pressure; fasting serum total, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and apolipoprotein A I and B concentrations; and plasma fibrinogen and factor VII concentrations. RESULTS--Fasting plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, and 32-33 split proinsulin fell with increasing birth weight (P = 0.04, P = 0.002, and P = 0.0002 respectively, when current body mass index was allowed for). Glucose and insulin concentrations 120 minutes after an oral glucose load showed similar trends (P = 0.03 and P = 0.02). Systolic blood pressure, waist:hip ratio, and serum triglyceride concentrations also fell with increasing birth weight (P = 0.08, P = 0.07, and P = 0.07 respectively), while serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations rose (P = 0.04). At each birth weight women who currently had a higher body mass index had higher levels of risk factors. CONCLUSION--In women, as in men, reduced fetal growth leads to insulin resistance and the associated disorders: raised blood pressure and high serum triglyceride and low serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. The highest values of these coronary risk factors occur in people who were small at birth and became obese. In contrast with men, low rates of infant growth did not predict levels of risk factors in women. 相似文献

The lipids and lipoproteins — cholesterol (C), triglyceride (TG) and high-density, low-density, very-low-density and sinking pre-β-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C and SPB-C) — in plasma samples from 1620 fasting white adults and children from the Toronto—Hamilton area were analysed. The mean concentration of HDL-C was about 45 mg/dl in men and about 60 mg/dl in women, and the levels were constant throughout adult life in both sexes. Boys had higher mean HDL-C levels than men, but girls had lower mean HDL-C levels than women. Mean LDL-C levels, like total C levels, increased with age, from about 87 mg/dl in boys to 136 mg/dl in men, and from about 91 mg/dl in girls to 145 mg/dl in women. The mean levels of VLDL-C followed the TG patterns for age and sex, rising from about 7 mg/dl in boys to 26 mg/dl in men, and from about 11 mg/dl in girls to 19 mg/dl in women. SPB-C was detectable visually in 39% of the population and with the aid of densitometry in 54%; the levels were not related to age, sex or oral contraceptive use, and the median level was 3 mg/dl.Prevalence estimates of hyperlipoproteinemia showed that type IV was the most common, and it was found more than three times as often in men as in women. This was in part due to the customary use of plasma TG cut-off points that do not reflect the large difference in TG levels between males and females. Type IIA hyperlipoproteinemia was found in about 2% of the adults and type IIb in a further 1%. Types I, III and V were all rare. The prevalence of types II and IV hyperlipoproteinemia was four times greater in women using oral contraceptives than in nonusers in the same age range. 相似文献

Fasting blood glucose levels and serum alkaline phosphatase activity of age-matched Libyan diabetic men (168) and women (168) were determined. The mean levels of blood glucose of men and women were 227 +/- 6 and 237 +/- 5 mg/dl, respectively. The respective values of serum alkaline phosphatase were 179 +/- 5 and 199 +/- 6 IU/l. The mean serum phosphatase activity of women was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) than that of their male counterparts. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between serum alkaline phosphatase and blood glucose levels of these diabetic patients (r = 0.35; p less than 0.001). 相似文献

Knowledge of the reproducibility of oral fat tolerance tests is important for experimental design and data interpretation. In this study, seven normolipidaemic men underwent two fat tolerance tests (blood taken fasting and for six hours after a meal containing 1.2 g fat, 1.2 g carbohydrate per kg body mass) with an interval of one week. Eleven normolipidaemic women underwent two fat tolerance tests--one during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, the other during the mid-luteal phase. Dietary intake was controlled for two days and subjects refrained from exercise for three days before each test. There was no significant difference in postprandial triglyceride responses between the two tests in the men (10.20 +/- 3.45 mmol/l.h vs. 9.68 +/- 2.77 mmol/l.h, NS) (mean +/- SD); intraclass correlation coefficient between the two tests was 0.93, and within-subject coefficient of variation was 10.1 %. In the women, the postprandial triglyceride response was lower in the luteal phase (6.75 +/- 1.83 mmol/l.h) than in the follicular phase (8.36 +/- 3.71 mmol/l.h) (p = 0.05), intraclass correlation was 0.65 and within-subject coefficient of variation was 23.2 %. These results suggest that, with adequate control of preceding lifestyle, reproducibility of postprandial triglyceride responses is high in men, but menstrual phase should be taken into consideration when studying these responses in women. 相似文献

We have previously shown that sex and obesity independently affect basal very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglyceride (TG) kinetics. In the present study, we investigated the effect of hyperglycemia-hyperinsulinemia on VLDL-TG kinetics in lean and obese men and women (n = 6 in each group). VLDL-TG kinetics were measured during basal, postabsorptive conditions and during glucose infusion (5.5 mg x kg FFM(-1) x min(-1)) by using [(2)H(5)]glycerol bolus injection in conjunction with compartmental modeling analysis. Basal VLDL-TG secretion in plasma was greater in obese than in lean men (7.8 +/- 0.6 and 2.9 +/- 0.4 micromol x l plasma(-1) x min(-1); P < 0.001) but was not different in lean and obese women (5.0 +/- 1.1 and 5.9 +/- 1.1 micromol x l plasma(-1) x min(-1)). Glucose infusion decreased the VLDL-TG secretion rate by approximately 50% in lean and obese men and in lean women (to 1.5 +/- 0.4, 4.0 +/- 0.6, and 2.2 +/- 0.4 micromol x l plasma(-1) x min(-1), respectively; all P < 0.05) but had no effect on the VLDL-TG secretion rate in obese women (4.9 +/- 1.0 micromol x l plasma(-1) x min(-1)). These results demonstrate that both sex and adiposity affect the regulation of VLDL-TG metabolism. Glucose and insulin decrease VLDL-TG production in both lean men and lean women; obesity is associated with resistance to the glucose- and insulin-mediated suppression of VLDL-TG secretion in women, but not in men. 相似文献

Correlation between apolipoprotein A-IV and triglyceride concentrations in human sera 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
L Lagrost P Gambert S Meunier P Morgado J Desgres P d'Athis C Lallemant 《Journal of lipid research》1989,30(5):701-710
Apolipoprotein A-IV concentration was measured by a newly developed competitive enzyme immunoassay in sera from fasted human subjects (n = 105) whose triglyceride concentrations ranged from 20 to 474 mg/dl (total cholesterol below 260 mg/dl) and in which chylomicrons could not be detected. Mean (+/- SD) apolipoprotein A-IV concentration was 13.0 +/- 2.6 mg/dl in sera with triglyceride levels ranging from 20 to 100 mg/dl, 16.9 +/- 3.7 mg/dl in sera with triglyceride levels ranging from 101 to 250 mg/dl, and 22.7 +/- 6.7 mg/dl in sera with triglyceride levels ranging from 251 to 474 mg/dl. The differences among the three groups were highly significant (P less than 0.001). Moreover, variations of apolipoprotein A-IV concentrations according to the triglyceride levels were noted within the normo-triglyceridemic population. Apolipoprotein A-IV concentration was 12.8 +/- 2.1 mg/dl for triglyceride levels ranging from 20 to 75 mg/dl and 16.4 +/- 3.8 mg/dl for triglyceride levels ranging from 76 to 150 mg/dl (P less than 0.01). In the entire population that was studied there was a significant linear correlation (r = 0.61, P less than 0.001) between the concentrations of serum apolipoprotein A-IV and triglyceride. Although the hypothesis of an unknown factor independently influencing both very low density lipoproteins and apolipoprotein A-IV cannot be ruled out, and although no apolipoprotein A-IV was found in the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction after separation by gel filtration, these data suggest that, in fasting subjects, the secretion of very low density lipoproteins could contribute to the plasma apolipoprotein A-IV level. 相似文献

This paper reports the blood lipid status of people aged 4 years and older in Taiwan. The data is based on the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT: 1993-1996), which adopted a multi-stage, stratified clustering sampling scheme. Altogether, 5097 subjects (2451 males and 2646 females) had data on triglyceride and 5643 subjects (2736 males and 2907 females) had data on cholesterol. We found that (a) cholesterol levels of males were lower than females in mid-to old age group (> or = 45 years old); (b) triglyceride values of females were lower than males in young adulthood (19-44 years), but higher than males after the age of 45 years, and (c) adult females had higher HDL-C value and lower ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C than males. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 10.2% in adult males and 12.6% in mid-to-old aged men, and that in females was 11.2% and 24.4%, respectively. The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was 13.4% and 6.1% in adult males and females (> or = 19 years as a whole), respectively. It was 12.3% in mid-to-old aged men (> or = 45 years), and 11.9% in women. The mean cholesterol values were similar to values of several previous surveys in different areas of Taiwan. But it was higher than those in some areas of Mainland China, and lower than those of western countries. People in metropolitan cities had a higher level of blood cholesterol than other areas. The average triglyceride values of males and females were higher than those of previous studies in Taiwan and of people in Mainland China. Mountainous stratum with predominantly aboriginal residents had higher level of triglycerides and body mass index (BMI) than other strata. The associations between dietary intakes of men and women and blood lipids were examined controlling for age and BMI. Result showed that Keys score, which was derived from saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and dietary cholesterol of a 24-hour recall, was positively related to blood cholesterol and LDL-C in men, but not in women. Average alcohol intakes per day were related to HDL-C positively, but LDL-C negatively in men and women. The regional differences in blood lipid profiles in Taiwan are consistent with the dietary and life-style variations island-wide. 相似文献

In a study of serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in male physicians, blood was drawn after fasting from 2071 registrants at 17 Canadian medical meetings from 1968 to 1973. Eight regional medical laboratories participated in the study. About two thirds of the samples were analysed in one of two laboratories to diminish method variations. When chylomicronemia, hyperglycemia or extremely high triglyceride values were detected, suggesting nonfasting, the data were discarded. The mean serum cholesterol value for the total study population was 233.9 plus or minus 1.22 mg/dl and the mean serum triglyceride value, 150.5 plus or minus 2.48 mg/dl. The mean values and the prevalence of elevated values (cholesterol larger than or equal to 250 mg/dl; triglyceride larger than or equal to 150 mg/dl) were related to age. Of the total study population 34.7% had elevated cholesterol values and 36.2% had elevated triglyceride values; only the cholesterol value was elevated in 17.5%, only the triglyceride value in 19.6% and both values were elevated in 16.8%. Although this was not a random sampling of Canadian physicians or of Canadian men, our findings of elevated serum lipid values were similar to those in French Canadian civic workers, American executives and Scandinavians, and somewhat higher than those in the Albany, New York and Framingham populations, but distinctly higher than those reported by a recent Nutrition Canada survey. 相似文献

Homocysteine and cystatin C level changes in haemodialysed patients and connection with cerebro- and cardiovascular complications 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Plasma homocysteine and Cystatin C levels of 360 chronic haemodialysed patients were measured in fasting (191 men, mean age: 55.5 years; and 169 women, mean: 62.9 years). The patients were divided into subgroups: diabetes mellitus (34 men and 38 women 7 vs 8 IDDM). obliterative arteriosclerosis (68 men and 61 women), cardiovascular complications (75 men and 84 women) and stroke (16 men and 12 women), and after renal transplantation in chronic rejection (15 men and 5 female). Homocysteine was determined by IMx analyser from Abbott by FPIA method. Immunoturbidimetric method was used for quantification of Cystatin C (PETIA). The lowest Cystatin C concentration was found in diabetic patients (4.35 +/- 0.15 mg/l in men and 3.18 +/- 1.77 mg/l in women) and the highest one occurred in anuric and bilateral nephrectomised and transplanted chronic rejected patients (6.075 mg/l in men and 6.35 mg/l in women: p<0.001). The homocysteine levels (24.98 +/- 2.94 micromol/l in men and 23.88 +/- 1.76 micromol/l in women) exceeded the upper limit of reference range (<15.0 micromol/l). There was a significant difference in favour of subgroup of cardiovascular (27.25 micromol/l in men and 26.87 micromol/l in women) and stroke patients (27.16 micromol/l in men and 30.76 micromol/l in women p<0.001). Elevated levels were found in chronic rejected patients with accelerated arteriosclerotic events (25.94 micromol/l in men and 27.43 micromol/l in women). Good positive linear correlation was found between serum homocysteine and Cystatin C levels (r=0.2393 and 0.2252). The authors demonstrated hyperhomocysteinaemia associated with high Cystatin C concentration in four subgroups of haemodialysed patients (obliterative and accelerated arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular complications and stroke). 相似文献

The present study investigated potential sex-related differences in the metabolic response to carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion during exercise. Moderately endurance-trained men and women (n = 8 for each sex) performed 2 h of cycling at approximately 67% Vo(2 max) with water (WAT) or CHO ingestion (1.5 g of glucose/min). Substrate oxidation and kinetics were quantified during exercise using indirect calorimetry and stable isotope techniques ([(13)C]glucose ingestion, [6,6-(2)H(2)]glucose, and [(2)H(5)]glycerol infusion). In both sexes, CHO ingestion significantly increased the rates of appearance (R(a)) and disappearance (R(d)) of glucose during exercise compared with WAT ingestion [males: WAT, approximately 28-29 micromol x kg lean body mass (LBM)(-1) x min(-1); CHO, approximately 53 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1); females: WAT, approximately 28-29 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1); CHO, approximately 61 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1); main effect of trial, P < 0.05]. The contribution of plasma glucose oxidation to the energy yield was significantly increased with CHO ingestion in both sexes (from approximately 10% to approximately 20% of energy expenditure; main effect of trial, P < 0.05). Liver-derived glucose oxidation was reduced, although the rate of muscle glycogen oxidation was unaffected with CHO ingestion (males: WAT, 108 +/- 12 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1); CHO, 108 +/- 11 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1); females: WAT, 89 +/- 10 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1); CHO, 93 +/- 11 micromol x kg LBM(-1) x min(-1)). CHO ingestion reduced fat oxidation and lipolytic rate (R(a) glycerol) to a similar extent in both sexes. Finally, ingested CHO was oxidized at similar rates in men and women during exercise (peak rates of 0.70 +/- 0.08 and 0.65 +/- 0.06 g/min, respectively). The present investigation suggests that the metabolic response to CHO ingestion during exercise is largely similar in men and women. 相似文献

Endogenous triglyceride turnover in liver and plasma of the dog 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Radioactive glycerol and S(f) > 20 lipoproteins labeled with it were used to study turnover of plasma S(f) > 20 and hepatic triglyceride in anesthetized dogs. From specific activity-time curves of these lipids after an injection of labeled material, a tentative and incomplete model for the kinetics of endogenous hepatic and plasma triglyceride was defined and partially validated. Pool sizes and turnover rates of triglyceride in liver and S(f) > 20 lipoproteins of plasma were then calculated in seven dogs. Hepatic triglyceride was composed of two compartments: 60% metabolically inert and 40% metabolically active. Although communication between these hepatic compartments surely occurred during the time course of these studies, it was not sufficient to be detected by our present methods. The metabolically active compartment turned over as a single pool but with two destinations: a quite variable proportion (an average of 61%) was secreted into plasma as S(f) > 20 triglyceride, and an average of 39% was presumably hydrolyzed within the liver. The fractional turnover rate of plasma S(f) > 20 triglyceride was 2-3 times that of hepatic triglyceride. This finding, and the parallel decline of specific activities of plasma S(f) > 20 and liver triglyceride after injection of labeled glycerol, confirm the rate-determining role of hepatic triglyceride. In this respect the dog differs importantly from man. Though turnover rates of plasma S(f) > 20 triglyceride fell in the same range in men and dogs, the relationship of turnover rate to plasma concentration of this lipid differed greatly between them. The model for the dog does resemble that previously reported for man, however, in the lack of major recycling of intact plasma triglyceride between the liver and plasma. Lack of such recycling, however, does not exclude return of plasma triglyceride into a hepatic triglyceride sink. The amount of such unidirectional uptake, if any, could not be determined by these techniques. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is associated with insulin resistance in certain conditions. However, whether TNF-alpha is related to insulin resistance in hypertensive subjects is still controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the status of TNF-alpha and insulin resistance in hypertension. METHODS: Newly diagnosed nondiabetic 17 essentially hypertensive (6 men, 11 women) patients, and 11 control healthy subjects (5 men, 6 women) are involved in the study. Body mass index (BMI), insulin, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, and TNF-alpha levels were measured. Insulin resistance is assessed according to homeostasis model of assessment (HOMA-IR). RESULTS: Serum insulin (8.4 +/- 2.7 vs. 6.1 +/- 1.4 mIU/ml; p < 0.01), triglyceride (245.0 +/- 39.9 vs. 193.0 +/- 22.8 mg/dl; p < 0.01), and TNF-alpha (4.2 +/- 0.7 vs. 3.0 +/- 0.6 pg/ml; p < 0.001) levels, and HOMA-IR (2.0 +/- 0.8 vs. 1.3 +/- 0.3; p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the hypertensive patients compared to the normotensive control group. There were positive correlations between TNF-alpha levels and body mass index (r = 0.64, p < 0.01), and triglyceride (r = 0.55 p = 0.02) levels in the whole study group. However, there was no correlation of either TNF-alpha or HOMA-IR. CONCLUSIONS: Our data revealed that hypertensive patients have insulin resistance and higher TNF-alpha levels, but there is no relation between TNF-alpha levels and insulin resistance. 相似文献
