The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute anaerobic exercise on serum levels of adipokines Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG), apelin, and lipasin. Eighteen male athletes who actively played soccer and trained at least four days a week, with a mean age of 19.11 ± 2.59 years, body weight of 70.61 ± 8.17 kg, height of 176.0 ± 7.71 cm, sport age of 7.22 ± 2.60 years and BMI of 22.76 ± 1.68 kg/m2 participated in the study. Athletes were subjected to the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) for anaerobic performance. Blood samples were collected from the athletes 4 times (at rest, 10 minutes, 60 minutes, and 24 hours after exercise). The results of the study showed that acute anaerobic exercise significantly increased ZAG levels ( < 0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was detected in apelin and lipasin levels ( > 0.05). In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that acute anaerobic exercise is associated with an increase in ZAG levels, but not apelin or lipasin levels. The observations suggest that ZAG may have a specific response to anaerobic exercise, which provides valuable insight into its potential impact on energy metabolism.
本研究旨在探讨急性无氧运动对血清脂联素、锌-α2-糖蛋白（ZAG）和脂肪酶水平的影响。18 名男性运动员积极参加足球比赛，每周至少训练 4 天，平均年龄为 19.11±2.59 岁，体重为 70.61±8.17kg，身高为 176.0±7.71cm，运动年龄为 7.22±2.60 年，BMI 为 22.76±1.68kg/m2。运动员接受基于跑步的无氧冲刺测试（RAST）以评估无氧能力。在运动前、运动后 10 分钟、60 分钟和 24 小时，采集运动员的 4 次血液样本。研究结果表明，急性无氧运动显著增加了 ZAG 水平（<0.05）。然而，脂联素和脂肪酶水平没有统计学差异（>0.05）。综上所述，本研究结果表明急性无氧运动与 ZAG 水平的升高有关，但与脂联素或脂肪酶水平无关。这些观察结果提示 ZAG 可能对无氧运动有特定的反应，这为其在能量代谢中的潜在影响提供了有价值的见解。
