Endurance training attenuates stress hormone responses to exercise in fasted rats

W. W. Winder, M. A. Beattie and R. T. Holman

Endurance exercise training produces major adaptations in hormonal and metabolic responses to exercise. This study was designed to determine whether the differences in hormone response persist in the fasted condition when liver glycogen is depleted. Rats were run on a motor-driven rodent treadmill 5 days/wk for periods up to 2 h/day for 10 wk. Trained and nontrained rats were then fasted 24 h and were run for periods ranging from 0- to 60 min. At the end of 60 min of exercise muscle glycogen was higher in trained rats (2.9 +/- 0.3 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.1 mg/g). Blood glucose was maintained at higher levels in trained rats throughout the course of the exercise (3.2 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.1 mM after 60 min). Plasma concentrations of glucagon and epinephrine increased in both groups during the exercise but were significantly lower in trained animals. Differences between trained and nontrained animals in stress hormone responses to exercise persist in the fasted state and appear to be a consequence of the capacity of trained animals to maintain higher blood glucose levels.
