Thirty-two men aged 18 to 28 with the hypothalamic syndrome and 64 age-matched healthy men were examined. Insulin test was carried out in 3 steps: before and 30 and 120 min after intravenous infusion of 0.15 U insulin per kg b.w. At all stages of insulin test, spirography parameters reflected the status of hypermetabolism connected with increased energy consumption and with a lesser efficacy of oxygen utilization. Measurements of hormones: ACTH, STH, and hydrocortisone in the blood and of adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, and DOPA in the urine indicated a reduced regulatory function of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal and sympathoadrenal systems in patients with the hypothalamic syndrome. Time course of IRI, glucose, pyruvate, and lactate levels in the blood plasma of patients with the hypothalamic syndrome was indicative of reduced insulin and glucose tolerance and of impaired utilization of glucose as an energy substrate.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is known to be an effective exercise training regimen to improve energy substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity. However, the underlying mechanisms of improvement in insulin sensitivity due to HIIT have not yet been fully clarified. C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) 1 and CTRP9, which are adiponectin paralogs and novel adipokines, have favorable effects on energy substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a single bout of HIIT on CTRP1 and CTRP9 secretions in healthy men. Eight healthy male subjects (mean ± SE: age, 23.4 ± 1.1 years; height, 172.1 ± 1.7 cm; body mass, 68.0 ± 2.0 kg; body mass index, 22.9 ± 0.5 kg/m2) participated in this study. They performed a single bout of HIIT consisted of four 30-s maximal cycling bouts with 4 min of rest between bouts using a cycle ergometer. Blood samples were collected before the exercise, at 0 (immediately after the exercise), 15, 30, and 120 min after the single bout of HIIT. Serum CTRP1, CTRP9, and high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosolvent assay kits. CTRP1 concentration significantly increased at 120 min after the HIIT. CTRP9 concentration also significantly increased immediately after the single bout of HIIT. In contrast, there were no significant differences in HMW adiponectin concentration before and after the acute HIIT. These findings suggest that a single bout of HIIT may stimulate CTRP1 and CTRP9 secretions in healthy men.

SummaryWe investigated the association between fibrinogen levels and a HaeIII restriction fragment length polymorphism located at −453 bp from the start of transcription of the β fibrinogen gene. 292 healthy men aged 45 to 69 years, recruited from general practices throughout Britain, were studied. None had a history of ischaemic heart disease. 41.1% (120) were smokers and fibrinogen levels were higher in this group. The frequency of the noncutting allele (designated H2) was 0.19 and was the same in smokers and non-smokers. The H2 allele was associated with elevated levels of fibrinogen in both smokers and non-smokers and the effect of genotype was similar in both groups. After smoking, HaeIII genotype was the strongest predictor of fibrinogen levels and explained 3.1% of the variance in fibrinogen levels. These results confirm earlier studies that variation at the fibrinogen locus contributes to the between-individual differences in plasma fibrinogen level.
