[HTML][HTML] The effect of short-term fasting on liver and skeletal muscle lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism in healthy women and men
JD Browning, J Baxter, S Satapati, SC Burgess - Journal of lipid research, 2012 - ASBMB
Fasting promotes triglyceride (TG) accumulation in lean tissues of some animals, but the
effect in humans is unknown. Additionally, fasting lipolysis is sexually dimorphic in humans,
suggesting that lean tissue TG accumulation and metabolism may differ between women
and men. This study investigated lean tissue TG content and metabolism in women and men
during extended fasting. Liver and muscle TG content were measured by magnetic
resonance spectroscopy during a 48-h fast in healthy men and women. Whole-body and …
