Influence of acute exercise on urinary protein, creatinine, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein-3 concentrations in children

Tohoku J Exp Med. 2003 Nov;201(3):165-70. doi: 10.1620/tjem.201.165.

Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a polypeptide hormone and present in human urine. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is the major form of binding protein in human circulation and functions as a carrier for IGF-I. Our goal was to determine the effects of volleyball exercise on the concentrations of urine protein, creatinine, IGF-I, and IGFBP-3 in children and to find out whether these effects differ between boys and girls. Volunteer children (13 females and 14 males), aged 10-13 years old were included in this work. Weight and height of the subjects were measured, and urine samples of their were collected before and after 2 hours of exercise. Urinary protein, creatinine, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels were analysed. Urinary protein, creatinine and IGF-I concentrations were increased after two hours of exercise wheres urinary IGFBP-3 concentrations did not change. In addition, no statistically significant difference in all parameters analysed was observed between boys and girls of similar age and body mass index.
