Exercise-Induced Splanchnic Hypoperfusion Results in Gut Dysfunction in Healthy Men
Figure 2
Physical exercise leads to ileal epithelial damage and inflammation, but does not result in renal injury.
A) Increased plasma IBABP levels point toward the development of exercise-induced ileal epithelial cell damage. B) Urinary NAG levels indicate absence of renal damage after cycling. Increased plasma MPO (C) and calprotectin (D) levels reveal exercise-induced inflammation in healthy volunteers. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 20). Different from baseline (t = 0) (NS, not significant; ** p<0.001, *** p<0.0001).
