Acute changes in lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein particle size after an endurance triathlon

Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental
S Lamon-FavaE J Schaefer

Abstract

The effect of an endurance triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bicycle ride, 26.2-mile run, in succession) on plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and B levels, and LDL particle size was determined in 34 male and six female participants 6 to 12 hours before and immediately after the completion of the triathlon. Plasma TG decreased significantly (70% decrease) in both men and women. In men the change in plasma TG was inversely associated with baseline TG values (P less than .0001). Plasma TC and LDL cholesterol did not change significantly in male athletes but decreased significantly in women. A significant increase in HDL cholesterol was observed in both men (18% increase, P less than .0001) and women (5% increase, P less than .01). In men the increase in HDL cholesterol was inversely correlated with the decrease in triglycerides (P less than .0002). Plasma apo A-I levels increased significantly only in the male group (P less than .005), whereas plasma apo B levels decreased significantly in both men and women (P less than .0005). LDL particle size increased in seven males, whereas in the remaining males a...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
