Abstract
The second specific aim of this research was to investigate the regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 production following exercise. Prolonged exercise increased plasma and hepatic levels of IGFBP-1. Neither plasma insulin and glucose levels, nor meal composition altered IGFBP-1 production following exercise. Conversely, adaptation to treadmill running markedly suppressed IGFBP-1 production, suggesting a connection between exercise stress and IGFBP-1. Further, plasma corticosterone correlated to plasma IGFBP-1 in untrained and treadmill-adapted animals following exercise. However, pre-treatment with drugs that block corticosterone synthesis and bioactivity did not prevent IGFBP-1 from rising following exercise. These results demonstrate that upregulation of IGFBP-1 following exercise is corticosteroid-independent. Further research is needed to determine the chemical factor(s) inducing IGFBP-1 production following exercise.
