In order to asess the effect of endurance training on adiose tissue morphology and lipolysis, 22 adult subjects (11 men and 11 women) took part in a 20-wk ergocyte training program, 4-5 days a wk, 40 min a day, at 80% of their maximal heart rate. Before and after training, they were submitted to an adipose tissue biopsy in the suprailiac region. Fat cell weight (FCW), and lipolytic activity were determined on isolated fat cells. For the whole sample, training significantly reduced FCW (pre: 0.40 .+-. 0.13 (mean .+-. SD) vs. post: 0.36 .+-. 0.13 .mu.g; P < 0.05), percentage of fat (pre: 22.0 .+-. 8.3 vs. post: 19.7 .+-. 8.1%; P < 0.05) and increased adipocyte epinephrine maximal stimulated lipolysis (ESL) (pre: 1.08 .+-. 0.49 vs. post: 1.69 .+-. 0.67 .mu.mol glycerol/30 min per 106 cells; P < 0.001). No changes were observed in fat cell number. In women, however, training induced no changes in the fitness indicators (% fat, sum of skinfolds, FCW). The exercise program significantly lowered the adiposity of men (% fat: P < 0.001; sum of skinfolds: P < 0.01; FCW: P < 0.05). In both sexes, a significant increase in ESL was observed after training. ESL of men, however, responded better than that of women to training (ESL of women: 1.36 .+-. 0.67 vs. ESL of men: 2.02 .+-. 0.50 .mu.mol glycerol/30 min per 106 cells; P < 0.05), with increases over pre-training values of 46% and 66% in women and men, respectively. Training can influence adipose tissue morphology and lipolysis and apparently there is a sex difference in the sensitivity to training.
