Hippuric and fatty acid response to exercise and recovery in hypoxia and normoxia.

Secreted metabolites	Exercise (pre- to post-exercise)		Recovery (post- to 3 hr post-exercise)
	Hypoxia	Normoxia	Hypoxia	Normoxia
Hippuric acid	1.37	2.10	−2.65	−2.98‡†
Myristic acid	1.83∗	1.99∗†	−1.45‡	−1.53‡†
Palmitoleic acid	4.28∗	5.36∗†	−1.95	−2.06‡†
α-Linolenic acid	3.50∗	4.67∗†	−2.01‡	−2.12‡†
Linoleic acid	2.70∗	3.17∗†	−1.62‡	−1.79‡†

All data expressed as a fold change. ^∗Difference between pre vs. post-exercise, p < 0.05; ^‡difference between post-exercise vs. 3 h post-exercise, p < 0.05; ^†indicates main effect for time (pooled hypoxia and normoxia values pre vs. post-exercise vs. 3 h post-exercise, p < 0.05).
