Exercise has the potential to impact disease by altering circulating anabolic and catabolic factors. It was the goal of this study to determine how different regimens of low-intensity and moderate-intensity exercise affected circulating levels of these anabolic and catabolic factors in HIV-infected men. Exercise-naive, HIV-infected men, medically cleared for study participation, were randomized into one of the following groups: a moderate-intensity group (MOD, who completed 30 min of moderate-intensity aerobic training followed by 30 min of moderate-intensity resistance training; a low-intensity group (LOW), who completed 60 min of treadmill walking; or a control group (CON), who attended the clinic but participated in no activity. Blood and saliva samples were collected at selected time points before, during, and after each of the 3 required sessions. Compared with baseline, the MOD group (n = 14) had a 135% increase in growth hormone (GH) (p < 0.05) and a 34% decrease in cortisol (CORT) (p < 0.05) at the post time point, a 31% increase in interleukin-6 (IL-6) (p < 0.05) at 30-min post exercise, and a 23% increase in IL-6 (p < 0.05) and a 13% decrease in soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (sTNFrII) (p < 0.05) at 60-min post exercise. The LOW (n = 11) group had a 3.5% decrease in sTNFrII (< 0.05) at 30-min post exercise compared with baseline and a 49% decrease (p < 0.05) in GH at 60-min post exercise. The CON group (n = 13) had a decrease in GH at 30-min (62%, p < 0.05) and 60-min (61%, p < 0.05) post exercise compared with baseline. The increase in GH from baseline to post was greater in the MOD group (p < 0.05) and the decrease in CORT from pre to post was greater in the MOD group (p < 0.05) than in the other groups. These data suggest that individual sessions of both low-intensity and moderate-intensity exercise can alter circulating anabolic and catabolic factors in HIV-infected men. The changes in the MOD group present potential mechanisms for the increases in lean tissue mass seen with resistance exercise training.
