Adrenergic control of post‐exercise metabolism

Abstract

After strenuous exercise there is a sustained increase in resting O 2 consumption. The magnitude and duration of the excess post‐exercise O 2 consumption (EPOC) is a function of exercise intensity and exercise duration. Some of the mechanisms underlying the rapid EPOC component (<1 h) are well defined, while the mechanisms causing the prolonged EPOC component (>1 h) are not fully understood. It has been suggested that β‐adrenergic stimulation is of importance for the prolonged component. There is an increased level of plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline during exercise, and it is shown that catecholamines stimulate energy expenditure through β‐adrenoceptors. After exercise an increased fat oxidation and an increased rate of triglyceride fatty acid (TG–FA) cycling may account for a significant part of the prolonged EPOC component. These processes may be stimulated by catecholamines. However, the return of plasma concentration of catecholamines to resting levels after exercise is more rapid than the return of O 2 uptake. But plasma concentration of catecholamines may be an insensitive indicator of sympathetic activity, since the clearance rate of catecholamines is high. Also, the sensitivity to catecholamines may be increased after exercise. A decreased post‐exercise O 2 uptake has been shown when β‐blockade is administered in dogs before the exercise bout. In a pilot study in humans, administration of β‐antagonist after exercise did not seem to change EPOC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
