All values after a 2 hour fast are well within normal fasted range, but with exercise, the triglycerides actually go up from 115 to 135, cholesterol and transport proteins don't change more than 1 percent Strenuous exercise markedly increases insulin sensitivity, which usually results in a rapid decrease in insulin levels. A decrease in insulin results in fatty acids being released from the fat cells into the circulation where they are reconstructed as triglycerides giving a little jump in serum triglyceride levels.

Eades, MD Sun, 12 Mar 2006 13:49:26 +0000 http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike_blog/?p=225#comment-261 As I recall we wrote about aspartame in oue second book, the Protein Power LifePlan. One of the constituents of aspartame is aspartic acid, which some researchers feel is an excitotoxin. An excitotoxin allows unrestricted entry of calcium into the brain cells, which makes them fire rapidly until they die, thus the name excito and toxin. Since aspartic acid is a constituent of normal metabolism, I don't know if the small amount in normal dosages of aspartame would cause a problem.
