title: Effects of acute aerobic exercise on high-molecular-weight adiponectin.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Few studies have reported the response of high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin to acute aerobic exercise.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of acute aerobic exercise on HMW adiponectin in healthy men.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eight healthy men (age, 24.9 +/- 1.8 yr; BMI, 21.9 +/- 0.5 kg x m) participated in this study. They performed two trials. Trial 1 [exercise trial (EX)] consisted of 60-min stationary cycle exercise (50% peak oxygen uptake) followed by 30-min rest. Trial 2 [control trial (CON)] was 90-min rest. Blood samples were drawn to assess hormones (catecholamine and insulin), metabolites (free fatty acid [FFA], glycerol, and glucose), and total and HMW adiponectin concentration.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were significant trial x group interactions in serum FFA and glycerol concentrations (P < 0.05). Serum FFA and glycerol concentrations were higher in EX than in CON (P < 0.05). There were significant trial x group interactions in plasma insulin and glucose concentration (P < 0.05). Plasma insulin and glucose concentrations were lower in EX than in CON (P < 0.05). Total adiponectin, HMW adiponectin concentration, and the ratio of HMW to total adiponectin concentration, however, were unchanged during aerobic exercise and postexercise. Also, those changes did not differ between EX and CON.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results indicate that total adiponectin and HMW adiponectin concentrations are not regulated by the change of hormones or metabolites during acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and postexercise in healthy young men.
