Divergent effects of resistance and endurance exercise on plasma bile acids, FGF19, and FGF21 in humans

Exercise has profound pleiotropic health benefits, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Endocrine FGF21, bile acids (BAs), and BA-induced FGF19 have emerged as metabolic signaling molecules. Here, we investigated if dissimilar modes of exercise, resistance exercise (RE) and endurance exercise (EE), regulate plasma BAs, FGF19, and FGF21 in humans.Ten healthy, moderately trained males were enrolled in a randomized...
