The study evaluated the hypothesis that during exercise autonomic neuroendocrine activity and, in turn, substrate mobilization, is subjected to feed-forward stimulation from motor centers. Eight young healthy men bicycled for two 20-min periods without (control, C) as well as during partial neuromuscular blockade with tubocurarine (Cu). 3-[3H]glucose was infused, and arterialized hand vein blood was sampled. In period 1 O2 consumption (VO2) (56% VO2 max), heart rate, and blood lactate were identical in Cu compared with C experiments, whereas hand grip strength was lower and perceived exertion [14.0 +/- 1.5 vs. 9.1 +/- 1.2 (SE) points, P less than 0.01] higher in Cu experiments, indicating higher motor center activity. Concentrations of norepinephrine [7.39 +/- 1.18 (Cu) vs. 5.14 +/- 1.06 (C) nmol/l], epinephrine (1.69 +/- 0.33 vs 0.87 +/- 0.16 nmol/l), growth hormone (25.9 +/- 7.3 vs. 11.5 +/- 4.7 mU/l), and adrenocorticotropin hormone (11.3 +/- 1.3 vs. 5.5 +/- 0.7 pmol/l) attained higher values in Cu than in C experiments (P less than 0.05). The initial increase in glucose production was enhanced in Cu (8.1 +/- 1.6 mumol.min-1.kg-1) compared with C experiments (3.9 +/- 1.9, P less than 0.05), and plasma glucose only increased in Cu experiments. Free fatty acid (P less than 0.05) and glycerol (P less than 0.1) concentrations were higher in Cu than in C experiments. In period 2 identical perceived exertion was achieved in the two experiments by reducing work load in Cu experiments. In this period hormonal responses were similar in the two experiments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
