Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of prolonged aerobic exercise on cardiac, muscular and renal inflammatory markers in a group of trained obese men.
Methods
Seventeen men (aged 40 ± 6 years; body mass index [BMI] 31.3 ± 2.8 kg m−2, maximal oxygen uptake [V’O2max] 41.5 ± 5.6 ml kg−1 min−1) ran a half, 30 km, or full marathon. Troponin I (cTnI), the n-terminal creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myoglobin, creatinine (CREA) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were measured before (T0), immediately after (T1) and 3 days after the race (T2).
Results
The concentrations of cTnI, myoglobin, LDH, CK-MB and CREA significantly increased (P
