Abstract
Summary
Exercise training lowered the body fat content of rats but, after training was terminated, there was a rapid increase in body weight and carcass fat. After 2 weeks of detraining, there were increases in the activities of liver and adipose tissue fatty acid synthetase, adipose glucose-6-phos-phate dehydrogenase, adipose citrate cleavage enzyme, and adipose malic enzyme. The increase in the activities of lipogenic enzymes may play a role in the rapid deposition of fat after termination of exercise training.
