Abstract

To examine whether exercise-induced thrombin formation is accompanied by increased in vivo plasmin formation, we measured molecular markers and neoantigens of the hemostatic system in 10 male subjects (mean 29 yr. range 19-38) before, immediately after, and 2, 8, and 21 h after a triathlon lasting 128-163 min. Thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complexes, fibrinopeptide A (FPA), and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen were maximally increased immediately after exercise and decreased thereafter rapidly. Prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (PTF1 + 2), fibrin degradation products (FbDP) and plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) complexes rose to a similar extent 0 and 2 h after exercise decreased thereafter. The maximal levels of PTF1 + 2, TAT, FPA, and FbDP were 1.5-, 2.1-, 1.8-, and 1.9-fold above baseline, respectively. This investigation shows that strenuous prolonged exercise leads to a moderate activation of blood coagulation resulting in thrombin and fibrin formation which is accompanied by a greatly enhanced plasmin generation. It is concluded that the hemostatic of healthy individuals is well kept in balance when stimulated by prolonged strenuous exercise.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
