In the present
study the hypothesis tested was that prior exercise may blunt
counterregulatory responses to subsequent hypoglycemia. Healthy
subjects [15 females (f)/15 males (m), age 27 ± 1 yr, body mass
index 22 ± 1 kg/m2, hemoglobin AIc
5.6 ± 0.5%] were studied during 2-day experiments. Day
1 involved either 90-min morning and afternoon cycle exercise at
50% maximal O2 uptake
(
O2 max) (priorEXE, n = 16, 8 m/8 f) or equivalent rest periods (priorREST, n = 14, 7 m/7 f). Day 2 consisted of a 2-h hypoglycemic clamp in
all subjects. Endogenous glucose production (EGP) was measured using
[3-3H]glucose. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)
was measured using microneurography. Day 2 insulin (87 ± 6 µU/ml) and plasma glucose levels (54 ± 2 mg/dl) were
equivalent after priorEXE and priorREST. Significant blunting
(P < 0.01) of day 2 norepinephrine (
30 ± 4%), epinephrine (
37 ± 6%), glucagon (
60 ± 4%), growth hormone (
61 ± 5%), pancreatic polypeptide
(
47 ± 4%), and MSNA (
90 ± 8%) responses to
hypoglycemia occurred after priorEXE vs. priorREST. EGP during
day 2 hypoglycemia was also suppressed significantly (P < 0.01) after priorEXE compared with priorREST. In
summary, two bouts of exercise (90 min at 50%
O2 max) significantly reduced glucagon,
catecholamines, growth hormone, pancreatic polypeptide, and EGP
responses to subsequent hypoglycemia. We conclude that, in normal
humans, antecedent prolonged moderate exercise blunts neuroendocrine
and metabolic counterregulatory responses to subsequent hypoglycemia.
