Brief Summary: This study investigates the effect of upper extremity exercise on postprandial lipemia PPL in persons with spinal cord injury SCI Participants are measured at rest and fed a standardized meal following seated rest CON or arm cycling exercise ACE The meal is infused with stable isotope lipid tracers that allow for determination of the end fates of the fat in the meal
Detailed Description: Spinal cord injury SCI results in dysregulation of fat metabolism that increases the risk of morbidity and mortality from cardioendocrine disease Excessive accumulation of visceral fat after SCI is a serious risk component for cardioendocrine disease and results in part from pronounced hypertriglyceridemia following ingestion of fat-containing meals ie exaggerated postprandial lipemia PPL Although exaggerated PPL is well documented in persons with SCI its etiology is unknown Specifically it remains to be determined to what extent exaggerated PPL in those with SCI results from impairments in the use of exogenous dietary andor endogenous stored fats Additionally it is not known if exercise improves postprandial fat use in a manner that alleviates the exaggerated PPL in this population and reduces the risk of cardioendocrine disease

The objective of the this study is to examine the mechanisms of exaggerated PPL in those with SCI and the effects of an acute pre-meal exercise bout by employing novel stable isotope tracer techniques In persons without SCI it is well established that pre-meal exercise lowers PPL in part by improving the use of exogenous and endogenous fats While muscle atrophy and blunted sublesional sympathetic activity following SCI may hinder fat use preliminary data indicate that fat use is increased during recovery from exercise in the postabsorptive fasted state in this population Thus the investigators hypothesize that decreased use of exogenous and endogenous fats contributes to exaggerated PPL in SCI and that pre-meal exercise will reduce PPL due to increased use of both fat sources
