Acute Resistance Exercise Temporarily Reduces Circulating Adiponectin in Trained Young Men: A Pilot Study
Overall, these findings support the role of adiponectin as a marker of acute metabolic adaptation to resistance exercise. Acute resistance exercise elicited a time-dependent decrease in circulating adiponectin, irrespective of TUT. The temporal pattern of adiponectin decrease coincided with the rise in muscle damage markers, yet the lack of direct correlation suggests distinct regulatory mechanisms, while the lack of salivary changes underscores the complexity of adipokine regulation in vivo and suggests that saliva is not a reliable indicator of changes in circulating adiponectin.
