Prior aerobic exercise mitigates the decrease in serum osteoglycin and lipocalin-2 following high-glucose mixed-nutrient meal ingestion in young men

We provide novel evidence that OGN and LCN2 decrease 120 min after ingesting a high-glucose mixed-nutrient meal in healthy adults. Acute aerobic exercise increases circulating LCN2 for up to 3-h postexercise, whereas circulating OGN remains similar to baseline. Despite differing postexercise responses, postprandial LCN2 and OGN are elevated when the high-glucose meal is ingested 3-h and 24-h postexercise. Findings support that OGN and LCN2 are dynamically linked to energy homeostasis in humans.
