Frequently Asked Questions (16)
Q2. What is the role of mTOR in leukocyte trafficking?
amino acid-sensitive mammalian target of 336rapamycin (mTOR) signaling is also a key mechanism underlying leukocyte trafficking (110).
Q3. What is the role of exercise in preventing skeletal muscle damage?
Exercise is also known to mobilize 121hematopoietic stem cells, which may participate in skeletal muscle repair and regeneration 122after exercise (25, 49).
Q4. What is the key to maintaining immune function after exercise?
A balanced and well-diversified diet that meets the energy demands in 447athletes and exercising individuals is certainly a key component to maintain immune function 448in response to strenuous exercise and intense periods of training.
Q5. What are the phenotypes of lymphocytes that preferentially egress?
Lymphocyte subtypes that 92preferentially egress the peripheral blood during exercise recovery also have phenotypes 93consistent with tissue migration (e.g., expression of surface adhesion molecules, chemokine 94receptors) (108).
Q6. What is the role of angiogenic T cells in recovery?
A 119recent study showed that acute exercise mobilizes angiogenic T cells, which may facilitate 120vascular remodeling during exercise recovery (53).
Q7. What sites are likely to be used for effector lymphocytes?
These lymphocytes most likely translocate to peripheral sites of potential 95 antigen encounter, such as the lungs or the gut (48).
Q8. How does the lymphocyte count after exercise decrease?
Following prolonged 74and/or high-intensity exercise in particular, lymphocyte number commonly decreases to 75below the preexercise value within as little as 30 min (126).
Q9. What is the evidence that exercise redeploys 105T cells?
Recent evidence showing that exercise redeploys 105T cells that are specific to latent herpesviruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein–106Barr virus (EBV) (111, 112) suggests that this response may be a countermeasure against 107stress-induced viral reactivation (107).
Q10. What are the changes in the immune system in response to overreaching?
Neutrophil count, plasma cytokine concentrations, CD4:CD8 T-cell ratio, and salivary 193IgA concentration are more variable (or do not change) in response to functional overreaching 194(39, 95, 124).
Q11. What is the effect of protein and leucine on the immune system after exercise?
Another study demonstrated that protein and leucine supplementation for 1–3293 h post-exercise during 6 d of high-intensity training enhanced neutrophil respiratory burst 330activity after the last exercise session (69).
Q12. What is the effect of low carbohydrate intake on leukocytes during recovery?
Compared with a higher carbohydrate intake (8 g/kg/d), very low 301carbohydrate intake (0.5 g/kg/d) leads to greater perturbation in leukocyte subsets during 302recovery from exercise (65).
Q13. What is the effect of a disrupted night’s sleep on the immune system?
Compared with normal sleep, a disrupted night’s sleep appears to 211prime the immune system and enhance immunosurveillance by stimulating total 212 lymphocytes, CD8+
Q14. What is the evidence that reduces immune cell function in vitro?
some evidence suggests that reduced immune cell function in vitro may 418 coincide with changes in vivo and rates of illness (14, 40).
Q15. What is the evidence that NK cells and CD8+ 98T cells express?
recent evidence indicates that CD8+ 98T cells and NK cells mobilized by exercise do not express cutaneous homing receptors on their 99surface (121).
Q16. What is the role of carbohydrate in reducing IL-6 release during exercise?
Although the systemic release 247of IL-6 during exercise is related to muscle glycogen depletion (114), the precise mechanism 248by which carbohydrate supplementation reduces systemic IL-6 release from contracting 249muscle during exercise is not clear, because carbohydrate supplementation does not alter 250 muscle glycogen content (75).
