Postprandial Lipid Tracer and Exercise in Spinal Cord Injury

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injuries

In brief

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.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 60. Sex: male. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Males aged 18-60 years.
• For the spinal cord injury subgroups, the participant's injury will be:

• American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale A-C,
• and will have occurred > 1 year from the testing date.

You may not qualify if…

• Lower extremity fracture or dislocation within 6 months of participation.
• History of head injury or seizures.
• Inability to consent.
• Restrictions in upper extremity range of motion that would prevent an individual from achieving an unhindered arm cycling motion or moving throughout a range needed to perform resistance maneuvers.
