Project Title:Metabolome trajectory of exercise physiology- a comprehensive study of healthy male and female athletes
Project Summary:BACKGROUND. Integrating metabolomics in sports science provides valuable insights into the biochemistry during physical activity. However, due to their invasiveness, traditional blood sampling methods present challenges in sports settings. The study investigated sex-specific metabolic responses, addressing a significant gap in exercise research, where female participation remains underrepresented. METHODS. To address this, we explored volumetrically accurate microsampling (VAMS) as a dried blood spot (DBS) technique for assessing metabolomic changes in response to acute exercise in more than 130 participants. This study employed a targeted quantitative approach using isotopically-labeled internal standards to measure over 100 metabolites in DBS, providing accurate and traceable results. An accuracy assessment using standard reference material and stability testing over 90 days further evaluated the suitability of DBS for sports metabolomics. RESULTS. Our findings confirm that DBS offers a valid approach to capturing metabolic changes during exercise, reporting a wide panel of metabolites including key metabolites of energy pathways, which correlate well with plasma-derived data but also less studied classes such as pyrimidines. Implementing a straightforward standardization concept established metabolic perturbations upon bout exercise as differences of absolute concentrations. CONCLUSIONS. While metabolic regulations upon exercise are similar in both sexes, differences in the correlation with fitness-related metadata such as peak volitional oxygen consumption (V̇O2peak) and performance, indicate a higher complexity in women and a limitation of previous knowledge to men only. The quantification approach together with the simplicity of the sampling paves the way to expand this type of research towards other fields of personalized medical services.
