Popis: This study examined the impact of treadmill running in normobaric hypoxia on gastrointestinal barrier permeability and the systemic inflammatory response. Ten recreationally active participants completed two 1-h bouts of matched-workload treadmill exercise (65% normoxic maximal oxygen consumption) in counterbalanced order. One bout was performed in normoxia (NORM: fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) = 20.9%) and the other in normobaric hypoxia (HYP: FIO2= 13.5%). Minute ventilation, respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (VT), oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and heart rate (HR) were measured with a metabolic cart. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) was measured with pulse oximetry. Absolute tissue saturation (StO2) was measured with near-infrared spectroscopy. Fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and circulating cytokine concentrations (interleukin (IL)-1Ra, IL-6, IL-10) were assayed from plasma samples that were collected pre-exercise, postexercise, 1 h-postexercise, and 4 h-postexercise. Data were analyzed with 2-way (condition × time) repeated-measures ANOVAs. Newman–Keuls post hoc tests were run where appropriate (p < 0.05). As compared with NORM, 1 h of treadmill exercise in HYP caused greater (p < 0.05) changes in minute ventilation (+30%), RR(+16%), VT(+10%), carbon dioxide production (+18%), RER (+16%), HR (+4%), SpO2(–16%), and StO2(–10%). Gut barrier permeability and circulating cytokine concentrations were also greater (p < 0.05) following HYP exercise, where I-FABP was shown increased at postexercise (+68%) and IL-1Ra at 1 h-postexercise (+266%). I-FABP and IL-1Ra did not change (p > 0.05) following NORM exercise. IL-6 and IL-10 increased with exercise in both study conditions but were increased more (p < 0.05) following HYP at postexercise (+705% and +127%, respectively) and 1 h-postexercise (+400% and +128%, respectively).Novelty Normobaric hypoxia caused significant desaturation and increased most cardiopulmonary responses by 10%–30%. Significant gut barrier permeability and increased pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine concentrations could promote an “open window” in the hours following HYP exercise.
