“…It is important to highlight how a brief session of MICE (20 min) was able to increase GLP-1 levels in sedentary obese males, but in contrast to previous studies [ 15 , 32 ], we did not observe a significant difference between exercise conditions. At this point, we could expect higher GLP-1 levels after HIIE, given that higher intensity exercises provoke a greater sympathetic activation, which may result in larger release of this peptide [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Supporting these findings, these previous studies were performed with HIIE maximal protocols with “all out” bouts, resulting on higher GLP-1 levels [ 15 , 32 ].…”
