Independent effects of diet and exercise training on fat oxidation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Table 3 Change in substrate metabolism from basal (resting and fasting) to insulin-stimulation conditions pre-intervention and after 6 mo of energy restriction or exercise training (post-intervention)

	Energy restriction (n = 6)			Exercise (n = 10)
	Pre	Post	P	Pre	Post	P
Δ Respiratory quotient	0.05 ± 0.05	0.08 ± 0.05	0.58	0.04 ± 0.02	0.07 ± 0.05	0.11
Δ Fatox (mg/kgFFM per minute)	-0.29 ± 0.46	-0.56 ± 0.32	0.31	-0.24 ± 0.36	-0.55 ± 0.35	0.06
Δ CHOox (mg/kgFFM per minute)	0.92 ± 0.98	1.41 ± 0.98	0.46	0.54 ± 0.85	1.02 ± 0.93	0.18
