Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In altitude training, exercise and hypoxia stimulations have significant effects on the formation and apoptosis of erythrocyte cells in athletes.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the prevention and treatment of exercise-induced hemoglobin reduction and the related mechanisms using normobaric hypoxia stimulation after progressive training, and to observe the changes of erythrocyte- and reticulocyte-related parameters and erythropoietin production in rats.
METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank control group (n=10) and model group (n=40, induction of exercise-induced hemoglobin reduction by 6-week progressive training). Afterwards, the model rats were equivalently randomized into normoxia, 1-hour hypoxia, 2-hour hypoxia and intermittent hypoxia groups. The hypoxic course lasted for 3 weeks, with 6 days per week. The parameters of erythrocyte, reticulocyte and the erythropoietin production in the kidney and serum were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 6 weeks of progressive treadmill running, the counts of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and hematocrit in the model group were significantly lower than those in the blank control group (P < 0.01). Compared with the normoxia group, in each hypoxia group, the count and percentage of reticulocytes were significantly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), the volume of reticulocytes and content of hemoglobin in reticulocytes were significantly decreased (P < 0.01), especially in the intermittent hypoxia group. But the concentration of hemoglobin in reticulocytes showed no significant difference among groups. The levels of erythropoietin in the kidney and serum in each hypoxia group were significantly higher than that in the normoxia group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), especially in the intermittent hypoxia group. In summary, hypoxic stimulation especially short-time multiple exposures can accelerate the generation of erythrocytes, which can be used for the prevention and treatment of exercise-induced hypoglobin.
