Native and cryptic Met-enkephalin and catecholamines are coreleased in response to stress. However, it is not known whether Met-enkephalin and catecholamines exhibit concurrent temporal relationships in response to exercise. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the corelease of catecholamines and Met-enkephalin in endurance-trained (n = 6) and untrained (n = 6) male subjects during a 6-min bout of exercise: 4 min at 70% of maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) followed by 2 min at 120% VO2max. Peak catecholamine levels were found at 1 min of recovery. In trained subjects, native Met-enkephalin peaked during exercise at 70% VO2max, declined during exercise at 120% VO2max, and returned to basal levels by 1 min of recovery. In the untrained subjects, native Met-enkephalin peaked at 120% VO2max (6 min) and returned to baseline by 5 min of recovery. In both groups, cryptic Met-enkephalin peaked at 70% VO2max and returned to basal levels during exercise at 120% VO2max. These data demonstrate that during exercise there is a temporal dissociation in plasma levels of Met-enkephalin and catecholamines.
