Effect of exercise on the lipid parameters in the fasting state and under glucose load

The lipid parameters were studied in the course of exercise in six children in the fasting state and in six under a glucose load. During the test the serum triglyceride level did not change notably, FFA values decreased significantly under the glucose load, most likely due to insulin mobilisation. The total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio underwent a significant change only in the course of physical work done in the fasting state.
