Uptake and release of hormones and metabolites by tissues of exercising leg in man.
AI Summary
Key Findings
Abstract
To examine release of insulin from tissues of the exercising llin, growth hormone, cortisol, and circulating metabolites were studied in five men before, during, and after exercise on a bicycle ergometer at 60% of their maximum work capacity. At rest, insulin, growth hormone, and cortisol were taken up by leg tissues. During exercise arterial plasma insulin concentration fell, but cortisol and growth hormone levels rose; there was net release of insulin into venous blood but little change in uptake of cortisol and growth hormone. Insulin release persisted after exercise for 15-30 min. During exercise arterial concentrations and uptake of glucose and free fatty acids (FFA) increased. Examination of the changes in hormones and metabolites failed to identify any single hormonal or metabolic factor causing the observed reversal of insulin uptake with exercise.
