Abstract:
Five long-distance runners and five non-athletes were examined on lipoprotein metabolism at rest, during, and after pedaling exercise (60% of the maximal oxygen uptake) . At rest, the concentrations of the cholesterol (Cho.), triglyceride (TG), and phospholipid (PL) of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) were kept at low level in the longdistance group compared with the non-athletes. The difference is significant (p<0.01) . On the other hand, the levels of the Cho, and PL of high density lipoprotein (HDL) were maintained high (p<0.05) . The concentrations of the TG of VLDL are in negative correlation with those of the Cho. (p<0.01) and PL (p<0.001) of HDL at rest. A positive correlation between Cho. and PL of HDL was also noted (p<0.001) . The TG of the VLDL decreased gradually with pedaling exercise in the long-distance group, reaching about 12 percent below the resting value just after exercise. However, no apparent change was noted in the non-athletes.
The results obtained indicate that the long-distance runners, compared with nonathletes, tends to use lipids in order to produce energy for exercise. There is little possibility of transferring from the Cho. and PL of VLDL to the lipoprotein during exercise for the results of no change in concentrations of the Cho. and PL of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and HDL. We concluded that the Cho, and PL of VLDL could gradually transfer to HDL by a heap of the endurance exercise for long period.
