Abstract Tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates (TCAi) have been proposed to act as myokines that influence energy metabolism. We determined if 2‐weeks of low‐calorie diet with interval exercise (LCD + INT) would increase TCAi more than a low‐calorie diet (LCD). Twenty‐three women were randomized to 2‐weeks of LCD (n = 12, 48.4 ± 2.5 years, 37.8 ± 1.5 kg/m2, ~1200 kcal/d) or LCD + INT (n = 11, 47.6 ± 4.3 years, 37.9 ± 2.3 kg/m2; 60 min/d supervised INT of 3 min 90% & 50% HRpeak). TCAi and amino acids (AA) were measured at 0 min of a 75 g OGTT, while glucose, insulin, and FFA were obtained at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 min to assess total area under the curve (tAUC180min) and insulin resistance (IR; tAUC180min of Glucose × Insulin). Fuel use (indirect calorimetry) was also collected at 0, 60, 120, and 180 min as was fitness (VO2peak) and body composition (BodPod). Treatments reduced weight (p |
