    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To examine the hypothesis that 12 weeks of resistance training would alter circulating concentrations of IGF-I system components in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. DESIGN: Ten ESRD patients underwent 12 weeks of resistance training after a 6 week control period and had morning fasted blood drawn on four occasions (weeks - 6, 0, 6, 12). Immunoassays were performed for serum total and free IGF-I, IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) 2 and 3, and the acid labile subunit (ALS). Immunoaffinity depletion of ALS-based complexes allowed measurement of non-ternary (i.e., binary) IGF-I and IGFBP-3. RESULTS: Significant improvements in strength and functional performance were observed. All IGF-I measures were stable during the control period and no changes were observed for the first 6 weeks of resistance training. At week 12, total IGF-I (-15.4+/-28.9%), ternary IGF-I (-16.4+/-36.7%), and the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 ratio had significantly (p < or = 0.05) declined from week 0 values. No changes were observed for free IGF-I, IGFBPs 2 and 3, or the acid labile subunit. The proportion of IGF-I in ternary ( approximately 76.3+/-6.8%), non-ternary ( approximately 22.5+/-6.6%), and free ( approximately 1.2+/-0.5%) forms remained constant throughout the training. CONCLUSIONS: 12 weeks of resistance training in ESRD patients induced a decline in total IGF-I, but did not alter the proportion of IGF-I circulating in free, ternary or non-ternary molecular complexes. The decline in IGF-I occurs in the presence of positive training adaptations on physical performance and we conclude that this response pattern appears to be reflective of favorable neuromuscular anabolic adaptations.
