We studied the response of serum 34K insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGF-BP) to two types of prolonged exercise. In the first study, 11 normal men performed cycle ergometer exercise, after an overnight fast, for 3 h at the intensity corresponding to 45-50% of their maximal aerobic power. After the exercise, the mean serum IGF-BP concentration was 4.9-fold higher than the baseline level (P less than 0.01), while the IGF-I concentration did not change. Resting for the same time period resulted in a 38% fall in the serum IGF-BP level (P less than 0.01). In the second study, 10 normal men and 8 type 1 diabetic men exercised, on the average, for 7.5 h in a 75-km cross- country ski race. The mean serum IGF-BP concentration increased 5.4- fold (P less than 0.01) in the normal men and 4.2-fold (P less than 0.01) in the diabetic men. The serum IGF-I concentration decreased by 19% and 21% in the normal and diabetic men, respectively (P less than 0.01). After completion of the ski race, the serum insulin and IGF-BP levels (r = -0.70; P less than 0.05), and serum IGF-I and IGF-BP levels (r = -0.72; P less than 0.05) were inversely correlated in the normal men. No such correlations were found in the diabetic men. We conclude that 1) long term exercise increases serum IGF-BP concentrations in both normal and type 1 diabetic men; and 2) the increases are inversely related to alterations in serum IGF-I and insulin concentrations in normal men. These data suggest that IGF-BP may be involved in regulation of the biological action of IGF-I during prolonged exercise.
