NCT01260376

Brief Summary

This study will investigate free fatty acid and VLDL-TG metabolism before and during exercise with and without pharmacological antilipolysis by the niacin antagonist Acipimox. Main focuses will be VLDL-TG and free fatty acid metabolism as well as expression of membrane proteins in fat- and muscle biopsies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effects of exercise and antilipolysis on FFA and VLDL-TG kinetics

    Healthy untrained men, investigated with pharmacological antilipolysis by Acipimox (Olbetam) and placebo on 2 occasions. Each day consists of 3 hour basal period and 90 minutes exercise on a bicycle at 60% of VO2-maximum. During the day glucose and lipid metabolism is investigated by glucose and VLDL tracer, as well as indirect calorimetrics. Cellular signaling is investigated by 2 muscle- and 2 fat biopsies each day.

    6 hour investigation day

EXPERIMENTAL

Tablet Acipimox 250 mg administered 4 times previous to and during the investigation day

Drug: Acipimox

Placebo
