Effects of reduced free fatty acid availability on skeletal muscle PDH activation during aerobic exercise
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of reduced free fatty acid (FFA) availability on pyruvate dehydrogenase activation (PDHa) and carbohydrate metabolism during moderate aerobic exercise. Eight active male subjects cycled for 40 min at 55% Vo(2 peak) on two occasions. During one trial, subjects ingested 20 mg/kg body mass of the antilipolytic drug nicotinic acid (NA) during the hour before exercise to reduce FFA. Nothing was ingested in the …
