Does exercise training attenuate lipectomy-induced impaired glucose tolerance in rats?
These results showed that short-term swimming training improved insulin sensitivity, but failed to prevent fat regain in lipectomized animals. Lipectomy induced impaired glucose tolerance, which is probably related to increased TNF-alpha gene expression. It is possible that a high-fat diet might be implicated in faster regain of adipose tissue after lipectomy. Our results also show that short-term exercise associated with lipectomy could improve insulin sensitivity.
These results suggest that the functional operation of SI in the motor system is more efficient in the dominant hand than the non-dominant hand. More efficient SI in the dominant hand could lead to greater dexterity in the dominant hand.
