Basic effects of exercise on the metabolism of fatty acids

  1. AMPK is activated
  2. AMPK phosphorylates and inactivates the Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (Synthesis of Malonyl-CoA)
  3. Malonyl-Coa level decreases
  4. CPT1 inhibition disappears
  5. The transport of the fatty acid into the mitochondria and the rate of β-oxidation is increased
  6. AMPK also phosphorylates
