exercise training; body fat; HERITAGE Family Study
The acute (single bout of exercise) and chronic (exercise
training) effects of exercise on plasma leptin were investigated in 97 sedentary adult men (n = 51) and women
(n = 46) participating in the HERITAGE
Family Study. Exercise training consisted of a standardized 20-wk
endurance training program performed in the laboratory on a
computer-controlled cycle ergometer. Maximal oxygen uptake, body
composition assessed by hydrostatic weighing, and fasting insulin level
were also measured before and after training. Pre- and posttraining
blood samples were obtained before and after completion of a maximal
exercise test on the cycle ergometer. Exercise training resulted in
significant changes in maximal oxygen uptake (increase in both genders)
and body compostion (reduction of fat mass in men and increase in
fat-free mass in women). There were considerable interindividual
differences in the leptin response to acute and chronic effects of
exercise, some individuals showing either increase or reduction in
leptin, others showing almost no change. On average, leptin levels were
not acutely affected by exercise. After endurance training was
completed, leptin levels decreased significantly in men (from 4.6 to
3.9 ng/ml; P = 0.004) but not in
women. However, after the training-induced changes in body fat mass
were accounted for, the effects of exercise training were no longer
significant. Most of the variation observed in leptin levels after
acute exercise or endurance training appears to be within the
confidence intervals of the leptin assay. We conclude that there are no
meaningful acute or chronic effects of exercise, independent of the
amount of body fat, on leptin levels in humans.
