Plasma Apelin Unchanged With Acute Exercise Insulin Sensitization.

Blood glucose and insulin responses to aerobic exercise are well defined yet the mechanisms effecting post-exercise insulin sensitization remain incomplete. Apelin has been reported to enhance glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity , but its role as a regulator of insulin sensitivity following acute aerobic exercise has not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate apelin's response to acute bouts of maximal and submaximal aerobic exercise and to elucidate apelin's influence on insulin sensitivity.

Effects of stimulation technique, anatomical region, and time on human sweat lipid mediator profiles.

Few studies compare sampling protocol effect on sweat composition. Here we evaluate the impact of sweat stimulation mode and site of collection on lipid mediator composition. Sweat from healthy males (n=7) was collected weekly for three weeks from the volar forearm following either pilocarpine iontophoresis or exercise, and from the forearm, back and thigh following pilocarpine iontophoresis only.
