Abstract

The VIP response to a 30 minute bicycle exercise test with a workload of 50% of VO2 max was investigated in young men before and after 5 days of continuous physical activities, almost total sleep deprivation and limited amounts of food. It was shown that plasma VIP increased during physical exercise lasting for more than 20 minutes with a workload of more than 50% of VO2 max. A further increase took place in the early recovery period to a maximum level 5–10 minutes after the exercise. This response to exercise is even stronger after prolonged strain. Glucose infusion during the exercise almost abolished the increase of plasma VIP.

      Although we were unable to verify the increment in CgA levels by short-term strenuous exercise, we demonstrate that CgA levels are influenced by the prolonged strenuous conditions of the ranger course. To the best of our knowledge, CgA levels have previously not been measured in situations similar to a military ranger course that is known to increase catecholamine, glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, growth hormone, and gastrointestinal hormone levels [35–37], while inducing marked depletion of the male sex hormones and thyroid hormones [38–40]. The localisation of CgA in the peripheral nerve endings and the adrenal medulla represent a physiological explanation for the increment in CgA levels during the ranger course.

      NPY levels have been found in response to several stress conditions such as extreme situations of physical exertion such as soldier survival training [20]. There are also studies examining the role of plasma VIP in the stress response [5,28–30]. These studies examined the plasma VIP response to prolonged fasting and involuntary sleep withdrawal and exercise [5,28–30].
