Nesfatin-1 and irisin levels in response to the soccer matches performed in morning, afternoon and at night in young trained male subjects

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of acute soccer matches performed in morning, afternoon and at night on both nesfatin-1 and irisin levels in trained subjects. Total of 20 male subjects performed in soccer matches at three different times of day: morning, afternoon, and night. Pre-and post-match venous blood samples were taken, and levels of both nesfatin-1 and irisin were analysed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Following all matches, the subjects' irisin levels increased significantly in all subjects (p < 0.0001). Nesfatin-1 levels were also increased after the matches; however, the increase was statistically significant for morning (P=0.01) and night-time (p=0.009). The subjects' nesfatin-1 levels did not increase in all subjects and decrease of nesfatin-1 levels observed in some subjects after matches. This study finds that soccer matches performed different workout times have strong stimulatory effects on irisin levels in all subjects but nesfatin-1 response varied among the subjects and it did not change significantly in afternoon match.

A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effects of 12 Weeks of Aerobic, Resistance, and Combined Exercises Training on the Serum Levels of Nesfatin-1, Irisin-1 and HOMA-IR

“…A previous study demonstrated that serum nesfatin-1 and insulin sensitivity in obese men were increased after upper-body resistance exercise was conducted (Mogharnasi et al, 2019b ). Altogether, our results are consistent with the previous studies that showed an upsurge in nesfatin-1 and insulin sensitivity following high-intensity training (Ahmadizad et al, 2015 ; Ozcelik et al, 2018 ; Mogharnasi et al, 2019b ). Moreover, another study reported that the reduction in nesfatin-1 induced by a high-fat diet is suppressed by the running wheel in mice (Chaolu et al, 2011 ).…”

Effects of aerobic exercise induced oxidative stress on energy regulatory hormones of irisin and nesfatin-1 in healthy females

“…In the present study we have found systematically increase in irisin levels in all female subjects. In concordance with the results of many previous studies performed in male and female, it is logical to emphasise that irisin is undeniably exercise hormone (8,(13)(14)(15)27,28).…”

“…There is an increasing interest among the investigators concerning with exercise induced increase in energy regulatory hormones of nesfatin-1 and irisin (13)(14)(15). It is also known that exercise induced increased metabolic and muscle activity enhance oxidative stress levels (16,17).…”

Effects of physical activity and exercise on Nucleobindin‐2 gene expression and Nesfatin‐1 concentration: A rapid review

“…The purpose of conducting this review is to assess the existing research evidence regarding the impact of exercise on Nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2) gene expression and Nesfatin-From the 36 included studies, 23 examined humans with 13 examining animal models.
