Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: Higher post-absorptive post-heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity has been reported in African Americans as compared to non-Hispanic whites but differences in tissue-specific LPL activity are unclear.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Post-absorptive skeletal muscle (SM)-LPL (vastus lateralis ) and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (AT)-LPL activity was measured in overweight, sedentary African American females (n = 11) as well as in their non-Hispanic white counterparts (n = 6) during a period of controlled low fat (30%) diet (for 10 days) combined with physical activity (for days 8-10). Post-absorptive substrate utilization was measured on day 10; fasting blood levels and SM and AT biopsies were obtained on day 11.
RESULTS: African Americans had significantly greater post-absorptive SM-LPL activity (P = 0.04) when compared to non-Hispanic whites. There were no significant differences in post-absorptive AT-LPL activity, free fatty acids, and systemic fat oxidation or respiratory quotient between African American and white non-Hispanic women in this study (P > 0.2 for all).
DISCUSSION: During a controlled low fat (30%) diet post-absorptive vastus lateralis SM-LPL activity is higher in sedentary pre-menopausal African American as compared to non-Hispanic white women.
