Decreased muscle mitochondrial density may not impair reliance on lipid oxidation during high-lipid oxidative demand conditions.
Mitochondrial density may not be a limiting factor for lipid oxidation in certain exercise conditions.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
This data suggests that decreased muscle mitochondrial density may not necessarily impair reliance on lipid oxidation over the course of the day since it was normal under a high-lipid oxidative demand condition.
Why this rating
Based on the observed data during exercise under controlled conditions.
