Brief summary

A high fructose diet increases fasting and post-prandial triglyceride (TG) concentrations in sedentary healthy human subjects.These effects may be secondary to fructose-induced hepatic de novo lipogenesis. Recent evidence indicate that exercise can prevent fructose induced dyslipidemia.This study will evaluate 1. how exercise effects the metabolic fate of oral fructose 1a) when exercise is performed before fructose ingestion 1b) when exercise is performed after fructose ingestion Metabolic effects of exercise will be assessed in healthy male subjects by measuring fructose oxidation (13CO2 production), fructose conversion into glucose (13C glucose concentrations in blood) and hepatic fructose conversion into lipid (13C palmitate-very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) concentrations in blood) after ingestion of 13C-labelled fructose meals 2. how fructose and protein modulate muscle glycogen and intramyocellular lipid repletion after exercise Healthy male subjects will be fed various fructose, glucose, lipid and whey protein meals after a glycogen/intramyocellular lipid depleting exercise. The effects of meals' composition will be assessed after 24 hours by measuring intramyocellular lipids and glycogen using proton-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Plasma triglyceridemeasurements in fasting conditions and every hour from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm (up to 9 hours)measurement of total and VLDL-TG concentrations in study 1
intramyocellular lipidsafter glycogen/intramyocellular lipid depleting exercise and after 24 hour controlled feeding post exerciseMeasurement by 1H-MRS in muscle vastus lateralis in study 2
Fructose conversion into lipidsmeasured from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm in study 1 (up to 9 hours)Estimated from 13C palmitate-VLDL concentration

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Fructose conversion into glucosemeasured between 7:00 am and 4:oo pm (up to 9 hours)measurements obtained from plasma 13C glucose concentrations and whole body glucose production measured by 6,6 d2 glucose in study 1)
exogenous lipid oxidationmeasured from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm in study 2 (up to 9 hours)Lipids ingested will be labeled with 13C-triolein, and exogenous lipid oxidation will be measured from breath 13CO2 production
intramyocellular glycogen concentrationsafter glycogen/intramyocellular lipid depleting exercise and after 24 hour controlled feeding post exerciseMeasured by 1H-MRS in muscle vastus lateralis in study 2
fructose oxidationmeasured from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm in study 1 (up to 9 hours)Calculated from breath 13CO2 production
