Bone metabolism is strongly influenced by heredity and environmental factors. To investigate interaction of the effects between vitamin D receptor polymorphism by Fok I and resistance exercise training on bone metabolism, young male subjects with FF genotype (F, n = 10) and Ff or ff genotypes (f, n = 10) followed 1 mo of weight training, and changes in bone metabolism were compared. An additional 14 subjects served as a sedentary control. Biomarkers of bone formation, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin were significantly increased by training in both F and f groups. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3, known to upregulate bone formation, was also increased by the training in the f but not in the F group. Bone resorption assessed by cross-linked NH2-terminal teropeptide of type I collagen was significantly suppressed by the training, and the decrease in F was greater and longer lasting than that in f group. In conclusion, stimulation of bone formation and suppression of bone resorption occurred within 1 mo in young men. Despite a significant increase in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the f group but not in the F group, the response of bone metabolism to the training in the F was similar to or greater than that in f group, suggesting a functional difference between vitamin D receptor genotypes f and F.
