Bananas as an Energy Source during Exercise: A Metabolomics Approach

Abstract: This study compared the acute effect of ingesting bananas (BAN) versus a 6% carbohydrate drink (CHO) on 75-km cycling performance and post-exercise inflammation, oxidative stress, and innate immune function using traditional and metabolomics-based profiling. Trained cyclists (N = 14) completed two 75-km cycling time trials (randomized, crossover) while ingesting BAN or CHO (0.2 g/kg carbohydrate every 15 min). Pre-, post-, and 1-h-post-exercise blood samples were analyzed for glucose, granulocyte (GR) and mono… Show more

“…The 75 km cycling time trial was associated with the typical increases in plasma cytokines and granulocyte and monocyte phagocytosis (a marker of post-exercise inflammation) measured during previous trials with carbohydrate-fed athletes [12,40]. Despite significantly higher plasma antioxidant capacity, l -arginine, nitrate, and citrulline, WM ingestion was not associated with alterations in the pattern of change in inflammation and immune measures.…”

“…These early studies helped to refine these techniques for use in exercise research but did not yield any detailed information on specific metabolic responses to exercise (51). Subsequently, metabolomics and proteomics have been used to determine responses to acute exercise (34,42,43,48) and in response to exercise training (49,67). However, we are not aware of any studies that have systematically employed metabolomics to compare metabolic responses to different modes of exercise.…”

“…Dopamine is formed by Amino acid Tyrosine, a natural compound that can be found in animal product, oat, banana, and grains. Based on the research, Musa cavendishii banana flesh had 2.5-10 mg dopamine [20], other study showed 0,42 mg/100 g dopamine on fleshed banana [21]. Another amino acid is tryptophan, the serotonin precursor.…”
