Effects of an acute bout of moderate intensity exercise on postprandial lipemia and airway inflammation

Johnson, Ariel M. January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Kinesiology / Craig A. Harms / Obesity and asthma often coexist in the same people. Both are characterized by the presence of low-grade systemic inflammation. A high-fat diet may contribute to concurrent development of both conditions by promoting a pro-inflammatory postprandial environment leading to a transient accumulation of blood lipids (postprandial lipemia; PPL) and acute airway inflammation. Previous results from our lab have shown an ~20% increase in airway inflammation two hours after consuming a high-fat meal (HFM) that was significantly associated with increased plasma triglycerides. While acute exercise has been shown to attenuate PPL, it is unknown whether these protective effects will translate to reduced airway inflammation after a high-fat meal. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of an acute bout of exercise on airway inflammation after a HFM. We tested the hypothesis that an acute bout of exercise 12 hours before a high-fat meal would protect against subsequent airway inflammation in healthy men and would be related to the decreased PPL and systemic inflammatory markers. METHODS: In a randomized cross-over study, 12 healthy college-aged men consumed a HFM (1g fat/1kg body weight) 12 hours following exercise (EX; 60 min at 60% VO2max) or without exercise (CON). Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO; measure of airway inflammation), blood lipid profiles (venous sample; total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, glucose), inflammatory markers (hsCRP, TNF-[alpha], IL-6) and pulmonary function tests (PFT) (forced expiratory volume in 1-s,forced vital capacity, forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of vital capacity) were measured pre-HFM, two hours, and four hours post-HFM. RESULTS: Baseline eNO was not different (p>0.05) between trials. eNO increased (p<0.05) post HFM at two hours in the both CON and EX conditions. eNO between trials was not different (p>0.05). Triglycerides were significantly increased two and four hours post HFM but were not different (p>0.05) between conditions. There was no relationship (p>0.05) between eNO and triglycerides or systemic inflammatory markers for any time point in either condition. Pulmonary function did not differ (p>0.05) between any condition. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that an acute bout of moderate intensity exercise 12 hours before a HFM does not attenuate postprandial airway inflammation or lipemia in healthy college-aged men.

Efeitos agudos do exercício de média e alta intensidade sobre a curva lipêmica em adolescentes saudáveis

Gross, Júlia da Silveira January 2014 (has links)
A lipemia pós-prandial (LPP) se caracteriza pelo aumento das concentrações de lipídeos sanguíneos, provocado por meio de refeição ou jejum e está diretamente relacionada com o sedentarismo e a formação da placa aterosclerótica. A adolescência é um período crítico no controle do peso e a inatividade física está associada com desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) prematuras. O exercício atua como um importante agente protetor contra o desenvolvimento e progressão de diversas doenças crônicas. Apesar dos efeitos do exercício sobre a LPP serem relativamente bem descritos, os seus efeitos sobre crianças e adolescentes têm sido negligenciados. Além disso, um dos aspectos intervenientes sobre a LPP é a intensidade de exercício. Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar os efeitos do exercício de intensidade média e alta na lipemia e glicemia pós-prandiais em adolescentes eutróficos saudáveis após refeição hiperlipídica. Treze adolescentes do sexo masculino, com idade entre 12 e 16 anos, foram selecionados e realizaram três protocolos: exercício de média intensidade (MI), exercício de alta intensidade (AI) e repouso (REP). No MI, os participantes pedalaram durante 45 minutos a 10% abaixo do 2° limiar ventilatório, seguidos de 180 minutos de repouso. No AI, os participantes pedalaram a 10% acima do 2° limiar ventilatório até alcançarem o mesmo gasto energético do MI. No REP, os participantes permaneceram em repouso durante todo o período. Foi fornecida uma refeição rica em gordura após cada protocolo. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos tempos 0 (jejum), 45min (logo após exercício), 105min (1h após a refeição), 135min, 165min, 195min e 225min em cada protocolo. Os níveis de triglicerídeos (TG), colesterol total (CT), HDL, LDL e glicose foram mensurados. Não houve diferenças entre as condições em relação aos níveis de CT, HDL, LDL e glicose. Foi encontrada uma redução significativa (p<0,05) nos níveis de TG (mg/dl) na condição MI quando comparado ao REP e AI no minuto 105 (70,1 + 10,3 vs. 92,2 + 32,4 e 82,2 +10,4) e 135 (68,4 + 14,4 vs. 97,3 + 15,6 e 91,54 + 24,9), respectivamente, e no minuto 165 entre REP e MI (103,14 + 24,2 vs. 82,4 + 18,8). A área sob a curva de TG (mg/dl/min) no MI foi 17,19% significativamente inferior quando comparado ao REP (16.437 vs 19.848) e 12,82% inferior quando comparado ao AI (16.437 vs 18.856). Em conclusão, o exercício de MI mostrou-se eficaz na redução dos triglicerídeos pós-prandiais em adolescentes saudáveis, quando comparado ao repouso e ao exercício de AI. / Postprandial lipemia (PPL) is characterized by increased concentrations of blood lipids, caused by meal or fasting and is directly related to a sedentary lifestyle and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Adolescence is a critical period in weight and physical inactivity is associated with premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Exercise acts as an important protective mediator against the development and progression of several chronic diseases. Despite the effects of exercise on LPP are relatively well described, its effects on children and adolescents have been neglected. Moreover, one of the factors on aspects LPP is the intensity of exercise. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise of medium and high intensity on postprandial lipemia and glycemia in healthy normal adolescents after a high fat meal. Thirteen male adolescents, aged between 12 and 16 years, were selected and performed three protocols: exercise of moderate intensity (MI), high-intensity exercise (HI) and rest (RES). In MI, participants cycled for 45 minutes at 10% below 2nd ventilatory threshold, followed by 180 minutes of rest. In HI, participants cycled at 10% above the 2nd ventilatory threshold in order to achieve the same energy expenditure MI. RES, the participants remain at rest during the entire period. A high fat meal was provided after each protocol. Blood samples were collected at 0 (fasting), 45min (after exercise), 105min (1h after the meal), 135min, 165min, 195min and 225min in each protocol. Triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), HDL, LDL and glucose were measured. There were no differences between conditions in relation to the levels of TC, HDL, LDL and glucose. A significant reduction (p <0.05) was found in the levels of TG (mg / dL) in the condition MI when compared to the REP and HI at 105 minutes (70.1 ± 10.3 vs. 92.2 + 32.4 and 82.2 +10.4) and 135 (14.4 vs. 68.4 +. 97.3 + 15.6 + 24.9 and 91.54), respectively, and at 165 minutes between REP and MI (24.2 vs 103.14 +. 82.4 + 18.8). The area under the curve of TG (mg / dl / min) in MI was 17.19% significantly lower when compared to REP (16,437 vs 19,848) and 12.82% lower when compared to HI (16,437 vs 18,856). In conclusion, the MI exercise was effective in reducing the postprandial triglyceride levels in healthy adolescents, when compared at rest and during HI exercise.

Efeito da administração oral de cápsulas de extrato de berinjela sobre o perfil lipidico em jejum e pós prandial : ensaio clínico, randomizado, duplo cego controlado por placebo / Effect of the oral administration of eggplant extract capsules on the lipid profile during fasting and postprandial : randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical test

Chiaradia, Vanessa January 2008 (has links)
Introdução: O extrato seco de Solanum melongena (berinjela) vem sendo utilizado pela população como um tratamento alternativo para dislipidemia. Ela é um vegetal rico em flavonóides que são antioxidantes polifenólicos encontrados nos alimentos. Estudos demonstram relação inversa entre o consumo de alimentos ricos em flavonóides e a mortalidade por doença arterial coronariana. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da administração de cápsulas de extrato de berinjela no perfil lipídico de indivíduos saudáveis após um teste de sobrecarga lipídica via oral . Métodos: Após consentimento informado 58 voluntários saudáveis foram randomizados para receber cápsulas contendo 450 mg extrato seco de berinjela ou placebo. As cápsulas de berinjela ou placebo foram administradas na quantidade de duas cápsulas duas vezes ao dia durante 14 dias. No 14º dia os voluntários foram submetidos a um teste de sobrecarga lipídica, logo após a ingestão de 900 mg de extrato de berinjela ou placebo conforme randomização anterior. A análise nutricional da refeição continha 361 kcal, 22,5 g de gorduras totais, sendo destas 14,5g de gordura saturada e 251mg de colesterol. O perfil lipidico foi aferido em jejum nos dias 0 e 14 e neste último dia aferido em jejum e 2 horas após a sobrecarga lipidica. Resultados: Os níveis de trigliderídeos, expressos em mediana (amplitude interquartílica), encontrados nos voluntários do grupo berinjela foram 69mg/dl (51 - 102), 69 mg/dl (56 - 94) e 92 (64 - 120), antes do tratamento, no 14º dia pré e pós prandial, respectivamente. No grupo placebo os resultados foram 92mg/dl (77 - 128), 79 (60 - 108) e 98 (73 - 142), respectivamente. Não houve interação estatisticamente significativa entre tempo e grupo quanto ao nível de triglicerídeos (P=0,208). Também não foram encontradas diferenças nos valores de colesterol total (P=0,973), HDL colesterol (P=0,059) e LDL colesterol (P=0,611). Conclusão: Nossos resultados demonstram que a utilização de cápsulas de extrato seco de S. Melongena por 14 dias não produziu nenhum efeito no perfil lipidico em jejum e pós-prandial em indivíduos normais. / Introduction: Dry Solanum melongena (eggplant) extract is being used by the population as an alternative treatment for dyslipidemia. It is a vegetable rich in flavonoids, which are polyphenol anti-oxidants found in foods. Studies reveal an inverse relationship between the consumption of foods rich in flavonoids and mortality from coronary artery disease. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of administering eggplant extract capsules on the lipid profile of healthy individuals after an oral lipid overload test. Methods: After informed consent, 59 healthy volunteers were randomized to take capsules containing 450 mg of dry eggplant extract or placebo. The eggplant or placebo capsules were administered in quantities of two capsules, twice a day, for 14 days. On the 14th day, the volunteers were submitted to a lipid overload test immediately after ingesting 900 mg of eggplant extract or placebo as per prior randomization. The nutritional analysis of the meal contained 361 kcal, 22.5 g of total fat, 14.5 g of which was saturated and 251mg of cholesterol. The lipid profile was checked during fasting on days 0 and 14 and on this last day it was checked during fasting and after a lipid overload. Results: Triglyceride levels, expressed as median (interquartile range), found in eggplant group volunteers were 69mg/dl (51 -102), 69 mg/dl (56 - 94) and 92 (64 - 120), before treatment, on the 14th day pre- and postprandial, respectively. In the placebo group, the results were 92mg/dl (77 - 128), 79 (60 - 108) and 98 (73 - 142), respectively. There was no statistically significant interaction between the time and the group as to triglyceride levels (P=0.208). No difference was found in total cholesterol (P=0.973), HDL cholesterol (P=0.059) and LDL cholesterol (P=0.611) levels either. Conclusion: Our results reveal that the use of dry S. Melongena extract capsules for 14 days did not produce any effect on the lipid profile during fasting and postprandial in normal individuals.

Does moderate intensity exercise in the postprandial period attenuate the inflammatory response to a high-fat meal?

Teeman, Colby S. January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Human Nutrition / Sara K. Rosenkranz / Background: High-fat meals (HFM) have been shown to increase postprandial lipemia (PPL) and inflammation. Acute exercise both pre and post-meal has been shown to attenuate PPL and inflammation. However, studies examining the interaction of HFMs and exercise on PPL and inflammation have used meal and exercise conditions more extreme than typical for average adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if moderate intensity exercise following a "true-to-life" HFM would attenuate PPL and inflammation. Methods: Participants were thirty-nine young adults (18-40 years) with no known metabolic disease. Inclusion criteria consisted of participants meeting physical activity guidelines of ≥ 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity or ≥ 75 min/week of vigorous activity, or < 30 min of planned physical activity per week. Participants were block randomized to EX or CON groups. Participants consumed a HFM of 10 kcal/kgbw. The EX group walked at 60% VO[subscript 2peak] to expend ≈ 5 kcal/kgbw beginning one-hour following the HFM. The CON group remained sedentary during the postprandial period. Blood samples were collected at baseline and 2, and 4hrs postprandially. Results: At baseline, there were no differences between EX and CON groups for any metabolic or inflammatory markers (p>0.05). Postprandial TRG increased ≈ 100% (p<0.001) in both groups, with no differences between groups. HDL concentrations decreased across time in both groups (p<0.001) with no differences between groups (p=0.338). HDL was higher in the EX group at 2hrs (p=0.047), but not 4hrs (p=0.135). IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations did not change over time with no differences between groups (p>0.05). The EX group increased sVCAM-1 from baseline to 4hr (p=0.003), while the CON group did not. Change in TRG was associated with change IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α from baseline to 2hrs when controlling for VO[subscript 2peak] and body fat%. No other associations were seen between change scores for TRG and inflammatory markers. Conclusions: Despite significant increases in PPL following a HFM, moderate intensity exercise in the postprandial period did not mitigate the PPL nor the inflammatory response to the HFM. These results indicate PPL and inflammation following a HFM are not directly related in a young, healthy population with low metabolic risk.

Efeitos agudos do exercício de média e alta intensidade sobre a curva lipêmica em adolescentes saudáveis

Gross, Júlia da Silveira January 2014 (has links)
A lipemia pós-prandial (LPP) se caracteriza pelo aumento das concentrações de lipídeos sanguíneos, provocado por meio de refeição ou jejum e está diretamente relacionada com o sedentarismo e a formação da placa aterosclerótica. A adolescência é um período crítico no controle do peso e a inatividade física está associada com desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) prematuras. O exercício atua como um importante agente protetor contra o desenvolvimento e progressão de diversas doenças crônicas. Apesar dos efeitos do exercício sobre a LPP serem relativamente bem descritos, os seus efeitos sobre crianças e adolescentes têm sido negligenciados. Além disso, um dos aspectos intervenientes sobre a LPP é a intensidade de exercício. Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar os efeitos do exercício de intensidade média e alta na lipemia e glicemia pós-prandiais em adolescentes eutróficos saudáveis após refeição hiperlipídica. Treze adolescentes do sexo masculino, com idade entre 12 e 16 anos, foram selecionados e realizaram três protocolos: exercício de média intensidade (MI), exercício de alta intensidade (AI) e repouso (REP). No MI, os participantes pedalaram durante 45 minutos a 10% abaixo do 2° limiar ventilatório, seguidos de 180 minutos de repouso. No AI, os participantes pedalaram a 10% acima do 2° limiar ventilatório até alcançarem o mesmo gasto energético do MI. No REP, os participantes permaneceram em repouso durante todo o período. Foi fornecida uma refeição rica em gordura após cada protocolo. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos tempos 0 (jejum), 45min (logo após exercício), 105min (1h após a refeição), 135min, 165min, 195min e 225min em cada protocolo. Os níveis de triglicerídeos (TG), colesterol total (CT), HDL, LDL e glicose foram mensurados. Não houve diferenças entre as condições em relação aos níveis de CT, HDL, LDL e glicose. Foi encontrada uma redução significativa (p<0,05) nos níveis de TG (mg/dl) na condição MI quando comparado ao REP e AI no minuto 105 (70,1 + 10,3 vs. 92,2 + 32,4 e 82,2 +10,4) e 135 (68,4 + 14,4 vs. 97,3 + 15,6 e 91,54 + 24,9), respectivamente, e no minuto 165 entre REP e MI (103,14 + 24,2 vs. 82,4 + 18,8). A área sob a curva de TG (mg/dl/min) no MI foi 17,19% significativamente inferior quando comparado ao REP (16.437 vs 19.848) e 12,82% inferior quando comparado ao AI (16.437 vs 18.856). Em conclusão, o exercício de MI mostrou-se eficaz na redução dos triglicerídeos pós-prandiais em adolescentes saudáveis, quando comparado ao repouso e ao exercício de AI. / Postprandial lipemia (PPL) is characterized by increased concentrations of blood lipids, caused by meal or fasting and is directly related to a sedentary lifestyle and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Adolescence is a critical period in weight and physical inactivity is associated with premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Exercise acts as an important protective mediator against the development and progression of several chronic diseases. Despite the effects of exercise on LPP are relatively well described, its effects on children and adolescents have been neglected. Moreover, one of the factors on aspects LPP is the intensity of exercise. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise of medium and high intensity on postprandial lipemia and glycemia in healthy normal adolescents after a high fat meal. Thirteen male adolescents, aged between 12 and 16 years, were selected and performed three protocols: exercise of moderate intensity (MI), high-intensity exercise (HI) and rest (RES). In MI, participants cycled for 45 minutes at 10% below 2nd ventilatory threshold, followed by 180 minutes of rest. In HI, participants cycled at 10% above the 2nd ventilatory threshold in order to achieve the same energy expenditure MI. RES, the participants remain at rest during the entire period. A high fat meal was provided after each protocol. Blood samples were collected at 0 (fasting), 45min (after exercise), 105min (1h after the meal), 135min, 165min, 195min and 225min in each protocol. Triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), HDL, LDL and glucose were measured. There were no differences between conditions in relation to the levels of TC, HDL, LDL and glucose. A significant reduction (p <0.05) was found in the levels of TG (mg / dL) in the condition MI when compared to the REP and HI at 105 minutes (70.1 ± 10.3 vs. 92.2 + 32.4 and 82.2 +10.4) and 135 (14.4 vs. 68.4 +. 97.3 + 15.6 + 24.9 and 91.54), respectively, and at 165 minutes between REP and MI (24.2 vs 103.14 +. 82.4 + 18.8). The area under the curve of TG (mg / dl / min) in MI was 17.19% significantly lower when compared to REP (16,437 vs 19,848) and 12.82% lower when compared to HI (16,437 vs 18,856). In conclusion, the MI exercise was effective in reducing the postprandial triglyceride levels in healthy adolescents, when compared at rest and during HI exercise.

Effects of exercise on cardiovascular disease risk markers in South Asian versus White European men

Arjunan, Saravana P. January 2013 (has links)
Globally, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause for morbidity and mortality. Exaggerated postprandial lipaemia has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis, and by lowering postprandial triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations, atherogenic progression may be delayed. Many studies have revealed that exercise, in particular acute exercise, can attenuate postprandial TAG concentration. Most of this evidence relates to studies conducted in Western participants. South Asians are a population predisposed to CVD, and their adverse lipid profiles and physical inactivity may be among the underlying reasons. Hence, the studies described in this thesis examined the potential of acute bouts of exercise to favourably modify postprandial lipaemia and other CVD risk markers in young, healthy, South Asian men. The first experimental study described in this thesis compared the effect of 60 minutes of brisk walking on postprandial TAG concentration in 15 South Asian and 14 White European men. Trials were conducted over two days with exercise (or rest) taking place on day 1 and postprandial testing on day 2. A key finding from this study was that postprandial TAG, glucose and interleuklin-6 (IL-6) concentrations were elevated in South Asian compared with White European participants after consumption of high fat meals. This study also revealed a non-significant trend for brisk walking to reduce postprandial TAG concentrations in response to high fat meals in both groups. The second experimental study reported here examined the effect of 60 minutes of treadmill running at 70% of max on postprandial lipaemia and other CVD risk makers on the next day in 10 South Asian and 10 White European men. A significant main effect of trial was shown for postprandial TAG, IL-6 and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), showing that TAG and IL-6 concentrations were lower on the exercise trial while sICAM-1 concentrations were higher on the exercise trial. In addition, ethnic group differences were observed for postprandial TAG, glucose and insulin concentrations indicating higher values in South Asians than White Europeans. A significant trial by group interaction effect was also observed for TAG, indicating a greater decrease after exercise in the South Asian men than the European men. In the third experimental study in this thesis the effect of 30 minutes of treadmill running on one day was compared with running for 30 minutes on three consecutive days in 11 South Asian men with regards to postprandial lipaemia. Neither a single bout of running nor three consecutive days of running influenced postprandial TAG in response to high fat meals when compared with the response on a control trial. It is not clear why exercise was ineffective in reducing postprandial lipaemia in this study but possibly the energy expenditure of exercise was insufficient to elicit change. The final experimental chapter described in this thesis combined the data from the first three studies. The objective of this chapter was to enhance the sample size in an effort to clarify the effects of acute exercise and to clarify the effects of ethnic group with respect to several fasting and postprandial CVD risk markers. The key findings were: 1) fasting and postprandial TAG and postprandial glucose concentrations were significantly reduced by exercise; 2) There were significant main effects of ethnic group for fasting high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol/ HDL-C, IL-6 and systolic blood pressure (SBP), indicating lower values of HDL-C and SBP and higher values of total cholesterol/HDL-C and IL-6 in South Asian participants. Additionally, there were significant main effects of ethnic group for postprandial TAG and IL-6 indicating higher values in South Asian participants. Taken together, these data indicate that South Asians have an adverse CVD risk factor profile in comparison with White Europeans and this may explain, at least in part, their elevated risk of CVD. Importantly, the data produced within this thesis show for the first time that acute bouts of exercise can be effective for lowering postprandial plasma TAG concentrations in South Asians, at least transiently. Thus, exercise has the potential to serve as a non-pharmacological medicine in South Asians.

Efeito de diferentes sessões de exercício concorrente sobre a lipemia pós-prandial de homens jovens

Macedo, Carlos Ernani Olendzki de January 2015 (has links)
O exercício físico tem sido indicado na prevenção do aumento da lipemia pós-prandial (após o consumo de uma refeição hiperlipídica). O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o efeito de duas sessões de exercício físico concorrente (tradicional e em circuito) na curva lipêmica de sujeitos submetidos à refeição hiperlipídica. Onze sujeitos do sexo masculino, familiarizados com treinamento concorrente (IMC 25,50 ± 2,10kg/m²) com idade média de 28,1 + 4,7 anos participaram da realização de um experimento composto por 2 dias consecutivos. No dia 1, os sujeitos realizavam um dos três protocolos randomizados: 1) CON - repouso; 2) CT - exercício concorrente tradicional (30 minutos de exercícios de força em circuito, seguidos de 20 min de exercício aeróbico a 70% do consumo máximo de oxigênio); 3) CC - exercício concorrente em circuito (50 minutos de exercícios de força e “tiros” de 2 min na esteira a 70% do consumo máximo de oxigênio, sob forma de circuito). No dia 2, 12h após a realização dos protocolos, os sujeitos consumiam uma refeição hiperlipídica. As coletas de sangue para análise de Triglicerídeos (TG), Glicose e Insulina foram realizadas no momento basal e de 1 à 5h após o consumo da refeição. O CT e o CC apresentaram menores níveis de TG comparado ao CON na hora 1 (p<0,05) e o CT também apresentou diferença do CON na hora 4 (p<0,05). Em relação à área abaixo da curva (AUC) de TG, houve diferença entre os protocolos CT e CC em comparação ao CON (p<0,05). Não foram encontradas diferenças entre os protocolos para Glicose. Em relação à AUC de Insulina, houve diferença entre os protocolos CT e CC em comparação ao CON (p<0,05), sendo que o CC apresentou diferença para maior em relação ao CT (p<0,05). Em conclusão, tanto o exercício CT quanto o CC são eficazes para atenuar a lipemia e a insulina pós-prandiais, sendo o CC ainda mais eficaz na atenuação da insulina. / The physical exercise has been shown to prevent the increase of postprandial lipemia (after consuming a high-fat meal). The objective of this study was to compare the effect of two concurrent sessions of exercise (traditional or circuit) in lipaemic curve of subjects who underwent fat meal. Eleven male subjects, familiar with concurrent training (BMI 25.50 ± 2,10kg/m²) with average age of 28.1 ± 4.7 years participated in the realization of an experiment in 2 consecutive days. On day 1, the subjects performed one of three randomized protocols: 1) CON - break; 2) CT - traditional concurrent exercise (30 minutes of circuit strength exercises, followed by 20 minutes of aerobic exercise at 70% of maximal oxygen uptake; 3) CC - concurrent exercise circuit (50 minutes of strength exercises and "bouts" of 2 min on the treadmill at 70% of maximal oxygen consumption, as circuit. On day 2, 12 hours after the completion of the protocols, the subjects consumed a high-fat meal. The blood samples for analysis of triglycerides (TG), glucose and insulin were performed at baseline and 1 to 5 hours after consumption of the meal. The TC and CC showed lower levels of TG compared to the CON 1 hour (p <0.05) and CT also showed difference in the CON 4 hours (p <0.05). In relation to the area under the curve (AUC) of TG there was a difference between TC and CC protocols compared to the CON (p <0.05). No differences were found between the protocols for glucose. Regarding Insulin AUC there was a difference between TC and CC protocols compared to the CON (p <0.05), considering that the CC showed a difference from the CT (p <0.05). In conclusion, both the CT and CC exercises are effective to mitigate lipemia and postprandial insulin, being the CC more efficient in insulin attenuation.
