It is recognized that IMCL can be depleted by physical activity and repleted by dietary fat intake indicating metabolic flexibility. In contrast, preliminary data suggested that aerobic exercise increases IHCL. Data on the acute effect of aerobic exercise on ICCL is scarce.Increased IMCL and IHCL have consistently been relate...
