RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to determine whether obesity and/or exercise training alters weight regain and musculoskeletal health after ovariectomy (OVX). Female rats were fed high-fat diet (HFD) to reveal obesity-prone (OP) and obesity-resistant (OR) phenotypes. The OP and OR exercising (EX) and sedentary (SED) rats were calorically restricted to lose 15% of body weight using medium-fat diet. Rats were then maintained in energy balance for 8 wk before OVX. After OVX and a brief calorically limited phase, rats were allowed to eat ad libitum until body weight plateaued. Starting at weight loss, EX ran 1 h·d, 6 d·wk, 15 m·min. Energy intake, spontaneous physical activity (SPA), and total energy expenditure were evaluated at the end of weight maintenance pre-OVX, and at three time points post-OVX: before weight regain, during early regain, and after regain. Data are presented as mean ± SE. Exercise attenuated weight regain after OVX in OP only (OP-EX, 123 ± 10 g; OP-SED, 165 ± 12 g; OR-EX, 121 ± 6 g; OR-SED, 116 ± 6 g), which was primarily an attenuation of fat gain. The early post-OVX increase in energy intake explained much of the weight regain, and was similar across groups. Exercising improved bone strength, as did maintaining SPA. Group differences in muscle mitochondrial respiration were not significant. The large decrease in SPA due to OVX was persistent, but early weight regain was dependent on decreased SPA. In conclusion, leanness and exercise do not necessarily protect from OVX-induced weight gain. Exercise prevented weight gain in obese rats, but loss of SPA was the greatest contributor to post-OVX weight gain. Thus, understanding the mechanisms resulting in reduction in SPA after ovarian hormone loss is critical in the prevention of menopause-associated metabolic dysfunction.

INTRODUCTION: Exercise can cause a decrease in serum ionized calcium (iCa) concentration, which stimulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and activates bone resorption. We postulated that dermal Ca loss during cycling exercise is the major determinant of the serum iCa, PTH, and bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [CTX]) responses. METHODS: To investigate this, women (n = 13) and men (n = 12) age 18 to 45 yr performed the same exercise bout under cool (18°C) and warm (26°C) conditions. Exercise was 60 min of cycling at ~75% of peak aerobic power. Sweat samples were obtained during exercise using a skin patch method, and blood samples were obtained before and during exercise and during 60 min of recovery. RESULTS: Sweat volume and estimated sweat Ca loss were 50% higher for the warm condition than the cool condition. Despite this, there were no differences between thermal conditions in the changes (mean, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]) in iCa (cool, -0.07 mg·dL; 95% CI, -0.16 to 0.03); warm, -0.07 mg·dL; 95% CI, -0.20 to 0.05), PTH (cool, 34.4 pg·mL; 95% CI, 23.6-45.2; warm: 35.8 pg·mL; 95% CI, 22.4-49.1), or CTX (cool, 0.11 ng·mL; 95% CI, 0.08-0.13; warm, 0.15 ng·mL; 95% CI, 0.11-0.18). Adjusting for exercise-related shifts in plasma volume revealed a marked decline in vascular iCa content in the first 15 min of exercise (cool, -0.85 mg·dL; 95% CI, -1.01 to -0.68; warm, -0.85 mg·dL; 95% CI, -1.05 to -0.66), before substantial sweat Ca loss had occurred. CONCLUSIONS: This indicates that dermal Ca loss was not the primary trigger for the increases in PTH and CTX during exercise. Further research is necessary to understand the causes and consequences of the disruption in Ca homeostasis during exercise and specifically the extravascular shift in iCa.

An exercise-induced decrease in serum ionized calcium (iCa) is thought to trigger an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH), which can stimulate bone resorption. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether taking a chewable calcium (Ca) supplement 30 min before exercise mitigates disruptions in Ca homeostasis and bone resorption in competitive male cyclists. METHODS: Fifty-one men (18 to 45 yr old) were randomized to take either 1000 mg Ca (CA) or placebo (PL) 30 min before a simulated 35-km cycling time trial. Serum iCa and PTH were measured before and immediately after exercise and a marker of bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) was measured before and 30 min after exercise. RESULTS: Serum iCa decreased in both groups from before to after exercise (mean ± SD, CA = 4.89 ± 0.16 to 4.76 ± 0.11 mg·dL, PL = 4.92 ± 0.15 to 4.66 ± 0.22 mg·dL, both P ≤ 0.01); the decrease was greater (P = 0.03) in the PL group. There was a nonsignificant (P = 0.07) attenuation of the increase in PTH by Ca supplementation (CA = 30.9 ± 13.0 to 79.7 ± 42.6 pg·mL, PL = 37.1 ± 14.8 to 111.5 ± 49.4 pg·mL, both P ≤ 0.01), but no effect of Ca on the change in C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, which increased in both groups (CA = 0.35 ± 0.17 to 0.50 ± 0.21 ng·mL, PL = 0.36 ± 0.13 to 0.54 ± 0.22 ng·mL, both P ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSION: It is possible that ingesting Ca only 30 min before exercise was not a sufficient time interval to optimize gut Ca availability during exercise. Further studies will be needed to determine whether adequate Ca supplementation before and/or during exercise can fully mitigate the exercise-induced decrease in serum iCa and increases in PTH and bone resorption.

Using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) before a single bout of mechanical loading can reduce bone formation response. It is unknown whether this translates to an attenuation of bone strength and structural adaptations to exercise training. PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use before exercise prevents increases in bone structure and strength in response to weight-bearing exercise. METHODS: Adult female Wistar rats (n = 43) were randomized to ibuprofen (IBU) or vehicle (VEH) and exercise (EX) or sedentary (SED) groups in a 2 × 2 (drug and activity) ANCOVA design with body weight as the covariate, and data are reported as mean ± SE. IBU drops (30 mg·kg BW) or VEH (volume equivalent) were administered orally 1 h before the bout of exercise. Treadmill running occurred 5 d·wk for 60 min·d at 20 m·min with a 5° incline for 12 wk. Micro-CT, mechanical testing, and finite element modeling were used to quantify bone characteristics. RESULTS: Drug-activity interactions were not significant. Exercise increased tibia cortical cross-sectional area (EX = 5.67 ± 0.10, SED = 5.37 ± 0.10 mm, P < 0.01) and structural estimates of bone strength (Imax: EX = 5.16 ± 0.18, SED = 4.70 ± 0.18 mm, P < 0.01; SecModPolar: EX = 4.01 ± 0.11, SED = 3.74 ± 0.10 mm, P < 0.01). EX had increased failure load (EX = 243 ± 9, SED = 202 ± 7 N, P < 0.05) and decreased distortion in response to a 200-N load (von Mises stress at tibia-fibula junction: EX = 48.2 ± 1.3, SED = 51.7 ± 1.2 MPa, P = 0.01). There was no effect of ibuprofen on any measurement tested. Femur results revealed similar patterns. CONCLUSION: Ibuprofen before exercise did not prevent the skeletal benefits of exercise in female rats. However, exercise that engenders higher bone strains may be required to detect an effect of ibuprofen.

INTRODUCTION: Disruptions in calcium (Ca) homeostasis during exercise may influence skeletal adaptations to exercise training. In young men, vigorous cycling causes increases in parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen [CTX]); responses are attenuated by Ca supplementation. The study aimed to determine whether vigorous walking causes similar increases in PTH and CTX in older women and how the timing of Ca supplementation before and during exercise influences these responses. METHODS: In experiment 1, 10 women (61 ± 4 yr) consumed 125 mL of either a Ca-fortified (1 g·L) or control beverage every 15 min during exercise starting 60 min before and continuing during 60 min of exercise. In experiment 2, 23 women (61 ± 4 yr) consumed 200 mL of a Ca-fortified (1 g·L) or control beverage every 15 min starting 15 min before and continuing during 60 min of exercise. The exercise was treadmill walking at 75%-80% VËO2peak. RESULTS: In experiment 1, serum ionized Ca decreased in the control condition (P < 0.001), but not with Ca supplementation. PTH increased after exercise on both days (Ca, P = 0.05; control, P = 0.009) but was attenuated by Ca supplementation (8.3 vs 26.1 pg·mL; P = 0.03). CTX increased only on the control day (P = 0.02). In experiment 2, serum ionized Ca decreased on Ca and control days (Ca and control, P < 0.001), but less so on the Ca day (P = 0.04). PTH (Ca and control, P < 0.001) and CTX (Ca, P = 0.02; control P = 0.007) increased on the Ca and control day, and there were no differences in the changes. CONCLUSION: The timing of Ca supplementation may be a key mediator of Ca homeostasis during acute exercise. Further research is necessary to determine how this influences skeletal adaptations to training.
