A total of 24 middle-aged men with known high blood lipid values were screened for abnormal response to the oral fat tolerance test. Blood samples were taken in the morning after a 12-h fast, and at 3, 5 and 7 h after ingestion of a high-fat meal. Of the men 10 had exaggerated magnitude or duration of lipaemia after fat ingestion, or both. These 10 were trained by cycling, swimming or jogging for 8 weeks. The oral fat tolerance test was made again before initiation of training and at each 2 weeks during training. There was no significant difference in magnitude or duration of lipaemia due to fat ingestion. It was concluded that abnormal oral fat tolerance is an inborn error of metabolism not influenced by physical training.
