PG - 305-313 LID - 10.1080/23328940.2017.1328304 [doi] AB - Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a biomarker of cognitive function that is released into the blood stream following exercise, and cognitive function is impaired by environmental temperatures that are hot and cold. Purpose: To evaluate the exercise-dependent release of BDNF in different environmental temperatures. Methods: Recreationally trained males each completed three trials consisting of cycling for 1 h at 60% W(max) at three different temperatures: 33 degrees C (hot), 7 degrees C (cold), and 20 degrees C (moderate room temperature). Blood was taken from the antecubital vein pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, and 3 h post-exercise. Respiratory gases were collected periodically throughout exercise and recovery. Results: BDNF was elevated immediately following an exercise bout (1711 +/- 766 pg.ml(-1)) regardless of temperature from pre-exercise (1257 +/- 653 pg.ml(-1), p = 0.001) and returned to basal levels following 3 h of recovery (1289 +/- 650 pg.ml(-1), p = 0.786). There was no effect (p > 0.05) of temperature on BDNF following the exercise bout. Plasma glucose was elevated in hot (6.2 +/- 0.9 mmol) over cold (5.3 +/- 0.6 mmol, p = 0.035) and moderate room temperature (5.2 +/- 0.5, p = 0.008). VO(2) was elevated during exercise in hot (3.01 +/- 0.45 L.min(-1)) over cold (2.67 +/- 0.35 L.min(-1), p = 0.005) and moderate room temperature (2.80 +/- 0.38 L.min(-1), p = 0.001). There was no relationship between BDNF and plasma glucose (p > 0.05) or VO(2) across any time point or temperature (p > 0.05). Conclusion: With aerobic exercise, BDNF is elevated; however, the release of BDNF is not impacted by different environmental temperatures during exercise.
