Study Summary
Intrahepatic and intramyocellular lipid concentrations are elevated in elderly individuals relative to young people, despite no significant difference in fasting plasma TAG concentrations. Our general hypothesis is that the increase in intrahepatic fat with age results from reduced VLDL turnover, and therefore elderly individuals in this study will display lower VLDL turnover rates than young individuals. The aims of this study are a) to compare VLDL turnover in young and elderly individuals, and b) to compare a bolus method and a constant infusion method of assessing VLDL turnover.
