Exercise enhances the partitioning of fatty acids toward IMTG and reduces the accumulation of fatty acid metabolites in skeletal muscle. (A) IMTG, (B) diacylglycerol, (C) ceramide, and (D) muscle glycogen concentrations the morning after an overnight infusion of lipid-plus-heparin. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 8). *P < 0.001, ^†P < 0.05, ^#P = 0.056 versus SED. dw, dry weight.
