The Influence Of Prolonged Treadmill Running On Plasma Acylated Ghrelin, Appetite And Energy Intake: 1336
Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise(2009)
Abstract
Acylated ghrelin is an appetite stimulating peptide important for energy balance. Exercise augments energy expenditure therefore compensatory changes in acylated ghrelin may be anticipated. PURPOSE: To examine plasma concentrations of acylated ghrelin, appetite and ad libitum energy intake for an extended period following a prolonged bout of treadmill running. METHODS: Following ethical approval, 9 healthy males (age 22.2 ± 0.8 yrs, BMI 23.6 ± 0.4 kg·m-2, VO2max 60.5 ± 1.5 mL·kg-1·min-1; mean ± SEM) undertook 2 main trials (exercise and control) in a random order. Exercise and diet were standardised prior to each 24 h trial. Trials commenced in the morning following an overnight fast. Participants spent 10 h within the laboratory on day 1 of trials (9:00 am - 7:00 pm) and returned the following morning (day 2) for final blood and hunger assessments. At the beginning of the exercise trial participants ran for 1.5 h at 68.8 ± 0.8% of VO2 max and rested for the remainder of the trial. Participants rested throughout the control trial. Ad libitum meals were available at 3 points during the laboratory phase of trials (2.5 - 3, 5.5 - 6, 9 - 9.5 h) and during the overnight period. Hunger perceptions were measured within the laboratory using a visual scale. Plasma acylated ghrelin concentrations were determined via an enzyme immunoassay (SPI BIO, France). RESULTS: Exercise induced a brief suppression of hunger and plasma acylated ghrelin (two-way ANOVA, interaction effect, P < 0.001 for both). Plasma concentrations of acylated ghrelin were significantly lower at the mid-point (control 133 ± 20, exercise 55 ± 15 pg·mL-1) and end (control 135 ± 20, exercise 70 ± 14 pg·mL-1) of exercise. Thereafter, neither acylated ghrelin or hunger were significantly different from control values for the remainder of day 1 or on the morning of day 2. Despite the energy expenditure induced by exercise (5324 ± 186 kJ) energy intake was no different between trials (control 17,191 ± 1144 kJ, exercise 17,606 ± 1384 kJ). Following exercise participants therefore remained in negative energy balance relative to control. CONCLUSION: Prolonged treadmill running briefly suppresses plasma acylated ghrelin and hunger but fails to induce compensatory hunger, acylated ghrelin or energy intake responses in the 22.5 h after exercise.
