Conclusion
endotoxemia, GI injury
INFLAMMATION, ENDOTOXEMIA
This study demonstrates that supplementation with CP does not alter exercise-induced changes in GI injury, permeability, and inflammation, or modify commonly reported GI symptoms. Although CP had no effect on our primary outcome measure I-FABP, a novel and intriguing finding was the greater LPS levels in the CON vs. non-exercise rest trial. While LPS was a not our main outcome measure, and we saw no statistically significant differences between the CON and CP trial, future research exploring a role for CP in modulating endotoxemia is warranted.
