Abstract
To elucidate if postprandial exercise can reduce the exaggerated lipidemia seen in type 2 diabetic patients after a high-fat meal. Two mornings eight type 2 diabetic patients (males) (58 ± 1.2 years, BMI 28.0 ± 0.9 kg m−2) and seven non-diabetic controls ate a high-fat breakfast (680 kcal m−2, 84% fat). On one morning, 90 min later subjects cycled 60 min at 57%
\( \ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{V}{\text{O}}_{{2\max }} \). Biopsies from quadriceps muscle and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue were sampled after exercise or equivalent period of rest and arterialized blood for 615 min. Postprandial increases in serum total-triglyceride (TG) (incremental AUC: 1,702 ± 576 vs. 341 ± 117 mmol l−1 600 min), chylomicron-TG (incremental AUC: 1,331 ± 495 vs. 184 ± 55 mmol l−1 600 min) and VLDL-TG as well as in insulin (incremental AUC: 33,946 ± 7,414 vs. 13,670 ± 3,250 pmol l−1 600 min), C-peptide and glucose were higher in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic controls (P < 0.05). In diabetic patients these variables were reduced (P < 0.05) by exercise (total-TG incremental AUC being 1,110 ± 444, chylomicron-TG incremental AUC 1,043 ± 474 mmol l−1 600 min and insulin incremental AUC 18,668 ± 4,412 pmol l−1 600 min). Lipoprotein lipase activity in muscle (11.0 ± 2.0 vs. 24.1 ± 3.4 mU g per wet weight, P < 0.05) and post-heparin plasma at 615 min were lower in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic controls, but did not differ in adipose tissue and did not change with exercise. In diabetic patients, 210 min after exercise oxygen uptake (P < 0.05) and fat oxidation (P < 0.1) were still higher than on non-exercise days. In type 2 diabetic patients, after a high-fat meal exercise reduces the plasma concentrations of triglyceride contained in both chylomicrons and VLDL as well as insulin secretion. This suggests protection against progression of atherosclerosis and diabetes.
