ABSTRACT
Whether glucose concentration increases during heat exposure because of reduced peripheral tissue uptake or enhanced appearance is currently unknown. This study aimed to report glucose concentrations in both capillary and venous blood in response to a glucose challenge during passive heating (PH) to assess whether heat exposure affects glucose uptake in healthy males. Twelve healthy male participants completed two experimental sessions, where they were asked to undertake an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) whilst immersed in thermoneutral (CON, 35.9 (0.6) °C) and hot water (HWI, 40.3 (0.5) °C) for 120 min. Venous and capillary blood [glucose], rectal temperature, and heart rate were recorded. [Glucose] area under the curve for HWI venous (907 (104) AU) differed from CON venous (719 (88) AU, all P < 0.001). No other differences were noted (P > 0.05). Compared with CON, HWI resulted in greater rectal temperature (37.1 (0.3) °C versus 38.6 (0.4) °C, respectively) and heart rate (69 (12) bpm versus 108 (11) bpm, respectively) on cessation (P < 0.001). An OGTT results in similar capillary [glucose] during hot and thermoneutral water immersion, whereas venous [glucose] was greater during HWI when compared with CON. This indicates that peripheral tissue glucose uptake is acutely reduced in response to HWI. Abbreviations AUC Area under the curve; CON Thermoneutral immersion trial; HWI Hot water immersion trial; OGTT Oral glucose tolerance test; PH Passive heating; T-msk Mean skin temperature; Trec Rectal temperature.
