Abstract
Twelve highly conditioned long-distance runners were studied to determine the effects of marathon (42 km) and 10,000 m running on plasma immunoreactive glucagon (IRG), serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI), and serum glucose (G) levels. Blood samples were drawn just prior to and immediately upon completion of the run. Marathon running resulted in no significant change in G, IRI, or IRG levels. After running 10,000 m, plasma IRG levels did not change significantly, while IRI and G increased significantly. In evaluating the pooled data from both runs, a significant inverse correlation was observed between delta G and delta IRG. This relationship between delta G and delta IRG suggests that glucagon plays a role in maintaining normal blood glucose levels during strenuous exercise.
