Characterizing Sex Differences in Lipid Metabolism during an Acute, 30-Minute Bout of Moderate- Intensity Continuous (MIC) Exercise
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-05)INTRODUCTION: Increased intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) size and storage in the subsarcolemmal region of the myocyte are associated with insulin resistance (IR) and the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Women have a ... -
Characterizing Sex Differences in Skeletal Muscle Anaerobic Metabolism during an Acute Bout of High Intensity Interval Exercise
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)INTRODUCTION: Exercise is known to improve insulin sensitivity (IS); however, its effectiveness may be absent or blunted in women, particularly following high intensity interval (HII) training. Sex differences in anaerobic ... -
Does sex or exercise modality influence post-exercise glucose handling or insulin sensitivity?
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-20)Exercise has long been recognized for its beneficial effects on glucose handling in both insulin sensitive and insulin resistant populations. However, there is conflicting evidence in regards to the best type and duration ... -
The Influence of Low-Load High-Repetition Resistance Exercise and Sex on the Metabolic Properties of Skeletal Muscle
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-04)INTRODUCTION. The findings of exercise trials have shown that women are better able to initiate aerobic metabolism and are less reliant on anaerobic energy stores. The effect that LL-HR resistance exercise and sex has on ... -
Sex-based differences in IMCL storage and utilization during an acute bout of high intensity interval exercise (HIIE)
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-21)INTRODUCTION: The contribution of lipids, particularly intramyocellular lipids (IMCL), to energy production during high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) is not well characterized. Sex influences lipid utilization during ... -
Two-weeks of single-leg immobilization alters IMCL storage, mitochondrial content, and insulin signalling in healthy, young women
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)During limb immobilization and bed rest, there is a significant loss of muscle mass and strength, and an onset of insulin resistance (IR). Subcellular localization of intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) is suggested to regulate ...
