- Abstract
The article discusses a study which showed that the post-absorptive skeletal muscle (SM)-lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity is higher in African Americans as compared to non-Hispanic white pre-menopausal women. Results of the study showed that there were no differences in post-absorptive adipose tissue (AT)-LPL activity, free fatty acids and systemic fat oxidation or respiratory quotient between the two groups. Results also suggest that African American women may take up more fatty acids into their muscle.
