Post-exercise serum hepcidin levels were unaffected by hypoxic exposure during prolonged exercise sessions

Post-exercise serum hepcidin levels were unaffected by hypoxic exposure during prolonged exercise sessions

The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of hypoxic exposure during prolonged endurance exercise sessions (79 min in total) on post-exercise hepcidin levels in trained male endurance athletes. Ten endurance athletes (mean ± standard deviation; height: 169.8 ± 7.1 cm, weight: 57.1 ± 5.0 kg) conducted two endurance exercise sessions under either a normobaric hypoxic conditi...

Salivary and serum cortisol levels during recovery from intense exercise and prolonged, moderate exercise

The aim of this study was to compare serum (SERc) and salivary cortisol (SALc) responses during recovery from two different exhaustive exercises to determine peak cortisol sampling time and the agreement between SERc and SALc levels. Twelve healthy men underwent a maximal treadmill graded exercise to exhaustion (MEx) and a prolonged, submaximal cycle exercise in the heat for 90 min (PEx) while ...

Effects of an Acute Exercise Bout on Serum Hepcidin Levels

Iron deficiency is a frequent and multifactorial disorder in the career of athletes, particularly in females. Exercise-induced disturbances in iron homeostasis produce deleterious effects on performance and adaptation to training; thus, the identification of strategies that restore or maintain iron homeostasis in athletes is required. Hepcidin is a liver-derived hormone that degrades the ferrop...

VE response to VCO2 during exercise is unaffected by exercise training and different exercise limbs.

We designed two experiments to investigate the relationship between ventilation (VE) and CO2 output (VCO2) during exercise under the conditions of exercising different limbs, the arms as opposed to the legs (experiment 1), and of different physical training states after undergoing standard exercise training for 90 d (experiment 2). Six healthy young subjects underwent submaximal ramp exercise a...
