Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Serum concentrations of leptin, a hormone secreted into the circulation by adipocytes, correlate with body mass index. Circulating of leptin is thought to signal the brain in patients with hyperinsulinemia, a condition reported to be preventable and testable by exercise training. In the present experiments, sucrose-fed rats had reduced concentrations of leptin in portal venous blood after 4 weeks of nonforced wheel-running exercise (1.1 +/- 0.1 vs. 6.2 +/- 1.8 ng/mL, in nonexercised sucrose-fed rats, P < 0.05). Mesenteric and subcutaneous fat stores were similar between groups. After 12 weeks of exercise, portal vein levels of leptin concentrations (5.2 +/- 2.1 vs. 9.9 +/- 0.8 ng/mL, P < 0.05) and mesenteric and subcutaneous fat all were reduced in the exercise group. These results suggest that short-term running exercise reduces circulating leptin before any reduction of adipose mass, and this reduction in the concentration of leptin available to its receptors has beneficial effects on the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates.
