Abstrakt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of graded treadmill exercise on plasma preproenkephalin peptide F immunoreactivity and concomitant catecholamine responses at sea level (elevation, 50 m). Few data exist regarding the sea-level responses of plasma peptide F immunoreactivity to exercise. Thirty-five healthy men performed a graded exercise test on a motor-driven treadmill at the relative exercise intensities of 25, 50, 75, and 100% of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). Significant (P<0.05) increases above rest were observed for plasma peptide F immunoreactivity and norepinephrine at 75 and 100% of the VO2max and at 5 min into recovery. Significant increases in plasma epinephrine were observed at 75 and 100% of VO2max. Whole blood lactate significantly increased above resting values at 50, 75, and 100% of the VO2max and at 5 min into recovery. These data demonstrate that exercise stress increases plasma peptide F immunoreactivity levels at sea level. While the exercise response patterns of peptide F immunoreactivity are similar to catecholamines and blood lactate responses, no bivariate relationships were observed. These data show that sea-level response patterns to graded exercise are similar to those previously observed at moderate altitude (elevation, 2200 m).
