Serum ferritin has been proposed as a predictor of hepcidin concentrations in response to exercise. However, this fact has not been studied in physically-active women. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to analyse the hepcidin response at different ferritin status before and after running exercise in physically active females. Fifteen eumenorrheic women performed a 40-min running protocol at 75% of VO2peak speed in different menstrual cycle phases (early-follicular phase, mid-follicular phase and luteal phase). Blood samples were collected pre-exercise, 0h post-exercise and 3h post-exercise. For statistics, participants were divided into two groups according to their pre-exercise ferritin levels (<20 and ≥20 μg/L). Through menstrual cycle, hepcidin was lower in both early follicular phase (p=0.024; 64.81±22.48 ng/ml) and mid-follicular phase (p=0.007; 64.68±23.91 ng/ml) for <20 μg/L ferritin group, in comparison with ≥20 μg/L group (81.17±27.89 and 79.54±22.72 ng/ml, respectively). Hepcidin showed no differences between both ferritin groups in either pre-exercise, 0h post-exercise and 3h post-exercise. Additionally, no association between pre-exercise ferritin and hepcidin levels 3h post-exercise (r=-0.091; p=0.554) was found. Menstrual cycle phase appears to influence hepcidin levels depending on ferritin reserves. In particular, physically-active females with depleted ferritin reserves seems to present lower hepcidin levels during the early-follicular phase and mid-follicular phase. However, no association between ferritin and hepcidin levels was found in this study. Hence, ferritin levels alone may not be a good predictor of hepcidin response to exercise in this population. Multiple factors such as sexual hormones, training loads and menstrual bleeding must be taken into account.

Carbohydrate (CHO) and fat constitute the main fuels used during endurance exercise. The purpose of this thesis was to determine how sex, menstrual cycle phase, estrogen, obesity, and endurance training (ET) influence substrate metabolism. In study 1, men (n = 11) and women (n = 13) underwent primed constant infusion of [6,6-2H] glucose with muscle biopsies taken before and after a 90 min bike ride at 65% VO2 peak. Luteal-phase women had lower muscle glycogen utilization compared with follicular-phase women. Women had lower respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and plasma glucose utilization than men. In study 2, men (n = 17) and women (n = 19) had muscle biopsies taken before and after a 90 min bike ride at 65% VO2 peak. Women had greater intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content and lower RER during exercise, with no effect of sex on net IMCL utilization. In study 3, Men (n = 11) were treated with 17-β-estradiol (E2, 2 mg·d–1, 8 d) and placebo and underwent primed constant infusion of [6,6–2H] glucose with muscle biopsies taken before and after a 90 min bike ride at 65% VO2 peak. E2 lowered RER and plasma glucose oxidation during exercise, with no effect on muscle glycogen utilization. In study 4, lean (n = 12) and obese (n = 11) women underwent 12 weeks of ET with muscle biopsies taken before and after training. Obese women were insulin resistant compared with lean women. ET increased oxidative capacity and β-oxidation capacity, as well as mitochondrial content. ET redistributed IMCL from the subsarcolemmal region to the intermyofibrillar region of the muscle fibre. These studies demonstrate that substrate metabolism is affected by many factors in health and disease and the ability to manipulate these factors is of importance to athletes wishing to improve performance, as well as to obese individuals attempting to normalize an altered metabolic state.
