Post-prandial systemic 8-isoprostane increases after consumption of moderate and high-fat meals in insufficiently active males

A single high-fat meal (HFM) leads to an increase in triglycerides and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can be assessed via 8-isoprostane generation, which is associated with the development of asthma and cardiovascular disease. No previous research has investigated whether airway and systemic 8-isoprostane increases post-prandially in non-asthmatics according to a meals' caloric and fat content. Our purpose was to assess airway and systemic 8-isoprostane following a HFM and a true-to-life moderate-fat meal (MFM).
