Do high-fat foods overcome the energy expenditure induced by high-intensity cycling or running?
These results indicate that eating high-fat foods can prevent exercise inducing any (short-term) negative energy balance. Therefore, in order for exercise to have a significant impact on weight control, it is important to consider the energy density of the accompanying diet. Despite the different physiological aspects of cycling and running, they did not display different effects on appetite.
Simvastatin has the capacity to prevent endotoxemic liver injury by inhibiting leukocyte infiltration and hepatocellular apoptosis. These protective effects exerted by simvastatin are dependent on the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase pathway. Thus, simvastatin may represent a potential approach to prevent endotoxemia-associated liver dysfunction.
