Endothelial Dysfunction Induced by Postprandial Lipemia

Endothelial Dysfunction Induced by Postprandial Lipemia: Complete Protection Afforded by High Intensity Aerobic Interval Exercise

Postprandial lipemia and exercise oppose each other in terms of cardiovascular risk, however the mechanism of their interaction is not well understood.

Therefore we want to study vascular function, as assessed by brachial artery (BA) flow mediated dilation (FMD), in healthy men before and after a high fat meal (HFM) preceded (16-18 hrs) by rest, a single bout of continuous moderate intensity exercise (CME), and high intensity interval exercise (HIIE).

Inclusion Criteria:

• male, 20-40years, BMI between 25 and 30, resident in Trondheim.

Exclusion Criteria:

• unstable angina, CHD, heart failure,
