Abstract
This investigation examined the influence of 12-week ballistic resistance training programs on the IGF-I system in circulation, interstitial fluid, and skeletal muscle, at rest and in response to acute exercise. Seventeen college-aged subjects (11 women/6 men; 21.7 ± 3.7 yr) completed an acute ballistic exercise bout before and after the training program. Blood samples were collected pre-, mid-, and postexercise and analyzed for serum total IGF-I, free IGF-I, and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) 1-4. Dialysate and interstitial free IGF-I were analyzed in vastus lateralis (VL) interstitial fluid collected pre- and postexercise via microdialysis. Pre- and postexercise VL muscle biopsies were analyzed for IGF-I protein expression, IGF-I receptor phosphorylation (p-IGF-IR), and AKT phosphorylation (p-AKT). Following training, basal serum IGF-I, free IGF-I, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3 decreased whereas IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-4 increased. Training reduced basal dialysate and interstitial free IGF-I but had no effect on basal skeletal muscle IGF-I, p-IGF-IR, or p-AKT. Acute exercise elicited transient changes in IGF-I system concentrations and downstream anabolic signaling both pre- and posttraining; training did not affect this acute exercise response. Posttraining, acute exercise-induced changes in dialysate/interstitial free IGF-I were strongly correlated with the changes in intramuscular IGF-I expression, p-IGF-IR, and p-AKT. The divergent influence of resistance training on circulating/interstitial and skeletal muscle IGF-I demonstrates the importance of concurrent, multiple biocompartment analysis when examining the IGF-I system. As training elicited muscle hypertrophy, these findings indicate that IGF-I's anabolic effects on skeletal muscle are mediated by local, rather than systemic mechanisms.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In the first investigation to assess resistance training's effects on the IGF-I system in serum, interstitial fluid, and skeletal muscle, training decreased basal circulating and interstitial IGF-I but did not alter basal intramuscular IGF-I protein activity. Posttraining, acute exercise-induced interstitial IGF-I increases were strongly correlated with intramuscular IGF-I expression and signaling. These findings highlight the importance of multibiocompartment measurement when analyzing IGF-I and suggest that IGF-I's role in hypertrophic adaptations is locally mediated.

Hormonal stress responses of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I in highly resistance trained women and men. Growth Horm IGF Res 2021; 59:101407. [PMID: 34118743 DOI: 10.1016/j.ghir.2021.101407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the responses of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGFI) to intense heavy resistance exercise in highly trained men and women to determine what sex-dependent responses may exist. Subjects were highly resistance trained men (N = 8, Mean ± SD; age, yrs., 21 ± 1, height, cm, 175.3 ± 6.7, body mass, kg, 87.0 ± 18.5, % body fat, 15.2 ± 5.4, squat X body mass, 2.1 ± 0.4; and women (N = 7; Mean ± SD, age, yrs. 24 ± 5, height, cm 164.6 ± 6.7, body mass, kg 76.4 ± 8.8, % body fat, 26.9 ± 5.3, squat X body mass, 1.7 ± 0.6). An acute resistance exercise test protocol (ARET) consisted of 6 sets of 10 repetitions at 80% of the 1 RM with 2 min rest between sets was used as the stressor. Blood samples were obtained pre-exercise, after 3 sets, and then immediately after exercise (IP), 5, 15, 30, and 70 min post-exercise for determination of blood lactate (HLa), and plasma glucose, insulin, cortisol, and GH. Determination of plasma concentrations of IGFI, IGF binding proteins 1, 2, and 3 along with molecular weight isoform factions were determined at pre, IP and 70 min. GH significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased at all time points with resting concentrations significantly higher in women. Significant increases were observed for HLa, glucose, insulin, and cortisol with exercise and into recovery with no sex-dependent observations. Women showed IGF-I values that were higher than men at all times points with both seeing exercise increases. IGFBP-1 and 2 showed increase with exercise with no sex-dependent differences. IGFBP-3 concentrations were higher in women at all-time points with no exercise induced changes. Both women and men saw an exercise induced increase with significantly higher values in GH in only the mid-range (30-60 kD) isoform. Only women saw an exercise induced increase with significantly higher values for IGF fractions only in the mid-range (30-60 kD) isoform, which were significantly greater than the men at the IP and 70 min post-exercise time points. In conclusion, the salient findings of this investigation were that in highly resistance trained men and women, sexual dimorphisms exist but appear different from our prior work in untrained men and women and appear to support a sexual dimorphism related to compensatory aspects in women for anabolic mediating mechanisms in cellular interactions.
