Women Burn More with Unsaturated Fat After Exercise

Researchers recruited healthy women were recruited to participate in rest or exercise sessions of light, moderate, and heavy exercise. All exercises were performed on a stationary cycle, while the researchers. After the exercise the women were given breakfast, in which the researchers had marked the palmitate [a saturated fatty acid found in fat meat and ready-prepared products] and the oleate [a monounsaturated fatty acid found in olive oil]. Oleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in human adipose tissue, and second in abundance in human tissues overall only to palmitic acid. The subjects were given the different fats in the form of a meal replacement drink. After exercise, fat oxidation of oleate was significantly greater after light, moderate, and heavy exercise than that with rest. Fat oxidation of palmitate did not differ among trials for rest, light, moderate, and heavy exercise. The oxidation of the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleate, was significantly greater after exercise than rest, regardless of exercise
intensity. A secondary finding is that prior exercise obviated the inverse relationship between dietary oleate oxidation and body fatness observed in rest subjects. Meaning the lower the amount of oleate that was being burned, the more bodyfat the person had. Exercise and eating monounsaturated fat increases fat oxidation more than saturated fat oxidation and that the increase occurs regardless of intensity.
