    Abstract:
    Exercise lowers plasma triglyceride levels, but the physiological mechanisms remain not fully elucidated. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in facilitating fatty acid uptake from lipoproteins. As exercise increases the efficiency of very low-density lipoprotein-triglyceride (VLDL-TG) oxidation, we hypothesized that muscle LPL activity would be a rate-limiting step and predict VLDL-TG Fatty acids oxidation during exercise. Sixteen healthy, lean subjects (eight men and eight women) were examined before and during an acute exercise bout (90 minutes at 50% of VO2-max). Heparin-releasable LPL activity was measured in muscle and adipose tissue biopsies. Breath 14 CO2 was measured after a primed-constant infusion of ex vivo labeled [14 C]-triolein VLDL-TG. Fractional VLDL-TG storage was measured in adipose tissue biopsies. Exercise did not affect muscle LPL activity (P=.30). No association was observed between muscle LPL activity and VLDL-TG oxidation, neither in the basal state (P=.17) nor during exercise (P=.83). Exercise did not affect upper body or lower body adipose tissue LPL activity (both P=.92). The basal adipose tissue fractional VLDL-TG storage (abdominal.13%±9%; femoral 17%±10% (P=.18)) was not associated with upper body (P=.56) or lower body (P=.44) subcutaneous adipose tissue LPL activity. Muscle LPL activity does not predict VLDL-TG oxidation during rest or exercise. In addition, adipose tissue LPL activity was not associated with VLDL-TG storage during rest. This suggests that LPL activity is present in excess of what is required to facilitate lipid uptake for oxidation during both rest and exercise.
