Long-Term Training and Net Transport of Plasma Free Fatty Acids

  • Chapter
Metabolic Adaptation to Prolonged Physical Exercise

Abstract

Adaptation to increased muscular work enhances the ability to release free fatty acids from the adipose tissue of trained rats in vitro [5, 6], as well as the activity of lipoprotein lipase in the heart and skeletal muscle [2, 3, 4] indicating an increased ability to utilize fat metabolites as a fuel for muscle work [1, 7]. Restricted activity results in changes of opposite character [2, 6], especially during growth period. The regulation of the mentioned adaptive metabolic transformations are therefore the topic of interest of our further studies.
