Abstract
Background: Muscle-derived uric acid (UA) precursors combined with fructose ingestion may increase liver UA production. Temporary hyperuricemia could impact metabolic and physiological responses over a 24-h period. This study examined the effects of intensive resistance exercise (RE) combined with excessive fructose intake on metabolic and physiological responses.
Methods: Twelve healthy young males participated in four trials: RE with fructose intake (EF), RE with water intake (EW), control (no exercise) with fructose intake (CF), and control with water intake (CW). Blood UA, glucose, lipids, blood pressure, and markers of kidney and liver function were measured during fasting and at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 24 h before and after exercise.
Results: UA levels in the EF and EW trials were significantly higher than those in the CF and CW trials at all post-exercise time points. The next morning, UA levels in the EF trial remained above 7 mg/dL. Increased glucose levels at 0 and 0.5 h post-exercise and increased creatinine (CRE) levels immediately post-exercise were observed. RE reduced the area under the curve for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and increased systolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, and the UA/CRE ratio the next morning. Fructose intake increased glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) levels 24 h post-exercise. CRE showed a positive correlation with UA levels, while eGFR was negatively correlated with UA levels in the RE trials. Additionally, GPT levels correlated positively with UA following fructose intake.
Conclusion: Intensive RE combined with excessive fructose intake induced a notable increase in UA levels. This increase in UA levels appeared to be associated with temporary fluctuations in markers related to renal function.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition & Metabolism publishes studies with a clear focus on nutrition and metabolism with applications ranging from nutrition needs, exercise physiology, clinical and population studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms in these aspects.
The areas of interest for Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in molecular nutrition in the context of obesity, diabetes, lipedemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology. Manuscripts related to molecular, cellular and human metabolism, nutrient sensing and nutrient–gene interactions are also in interest, as are submissions that have employed new and innovative strategies like metabolomics/lipidomics or other omic-based biomarkers to predict nutritional status and metabolic diseases.
Key areas we wish to encourage submissions from include:
-how diet and specific nutrients interact with genes, proteins or metabolites to influence metabolic phenotypes and disease outcomes;
-the role of epigenetic factors and the microbiome in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and their influence on metabolic responses to diet and food components;
-how diet and other environmental factors affect epigenetics and microbiota; the extent to which genetic and nongenetic factors modify personal metabolic responses to diet and food compositions and the mechanisms involved;
-how specific biologic networks and nutrient sensing mechanisms attribute to metabolic variability.
