The aim of the present investigation was to investigate plasma ghrelin response to acute maximal exercise in elite male rowers. Eight elite male rowers performed a maximal 6000-m rowing ergometer test (mean performance time: 19 mins 52 secs; 1192.1 +/- 16.4 secs), and venous blood samples were obtained before, immediately after, and after 30 mins of recovery. In addition to ghrelin concentration, leptin, insulin, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), testosterone, cortisol, and glucose values were measured. Ghrelin was significantly increased immediately after the exercise (+24.4%; P < 0.05) and was not significantly different than baseline after 30 mins of recovery. Leptin was significantly decreased immediately after the exercise (- 15.8%; P < 0.05) and remained significantly decreased after the first 30 mins of recovery. No changes occurred in insulin concentrations. Growth hormone, IGF-1, and testosterone values were significantly increased and decreased to the pre-exercise level immediately after the exercise and after the first 30 mins of recovery, respectively. Cortisol and glucose values were significantly increased immediately after the exercise and remained significantly increased during the first 30 mins of recovery. There were no relationships between plasma ghrelin and other measured blood parameters after the exercise, nor were changes in ghrelin related to changes in other measured blood biochemical values after the exercise. In conclusion, these results suggest that acute negative energy balance induced by specific maximal short-term exercise elicits a metabolic response with opposite changes in ghrelin and leptin concentrations in elite male athletes.
