Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of prolonged heavy physical exercise on serum galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase activity (S-GGT) and serum type III procollagen aminoterminal propeptide (S-Pro(III)-N-P) concentration was studied in healthy male long-distance runners. S-GGT increased gradually by about 70% (p less than 0.01) during a competitive 24-h run, and a rising trend was also observed in S-Pro(III)-N-P. After the termination of the run S-GGT was normalized in two days, but the increase in S-Pro(III)-N-P continued up to one day after the race, reaching nearly 40% (p less than 0.005). The alterations in S-GGT and S-Pro(III)-N-P showed no significant correlation with S-CK, S-LDH or the distance run. The most likely explanation for the increases in S-GGT and S-Pro(III)-N-P is that prolonged heavy exercise injures the collagen-synthesizing cells of the connective tissue, leading to a short-term increase in type III procollagen production.
