The Immune System during Exposure to Extreme Physiologic Conditions

Abstract: It is not clear how the immune system is modulated in response to physical stress (e.g. trauma, surgery, burn and sepsis). In order to better understand the stress-induced immune changes, effects of isolated stressors are evaluated. Human experiments include hypoxia, head-up tilt, hyperthermina and exercise, which influence all lymphocyte subtypes and especially so the natural killer (NK) cells. In essence, the immune response is enhanced even by light physical stress, but suppressed after prolonged, intense s… Show more

“…18,19 Previous studies showed that prostaglandins from activated monocytes and neutrophils that have migrated into damaged tissue might contribute to the reduction of NKCA. 9,11 In the present study, prostaglandins significantly increased after exercise in SCI subjects but not in able-bodied persons. Since the intensity of exercise in SCI subjects was similar to that of able-bodied subjects, we suggest that arm cranking during ergometer exercise in SCI subjects could result in compression of the tissue in paralyzed trunk, hip and lower limbs and induce distress and/or microdamage in the paralyzed area.…”

“…12,13 NKCA is stimulated by adrenaline, 3 suppressed by cortisol 10 and inhibited by prostaglandins. 9,11 The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of NKCA during exercise in SCI persons and to determine the mechanism(s) of any exerciseinduced change in NKCA, including the effects of adrenaline, PGE 2 and cortisol. For this purpose, we examined NKCA response to 2-h arm ergometer exercise at 60% of maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) in SCI and ablebodied persons.…”

“…AT (anaerobic threshold; 무산소성 작업역치)수준을 상위하 는 30분 이상의 운동강도에서는 면역기능은 감소하며 [8], 반면 장·단 시간의 최대하 운동에서는 혈중NK-세포가 증가한다는 보고도 있다 [20]. 관련해서 고지환경에서는 약한 강도의 운동 스트레스가 면역반응을 향상시키고, 장시간 운동스트레스가 강해지면 그 효과가 감소된다고 보고하였으며, 에베레스트 등 반의 검토에서는 높은 극고도에서 T-세포의 활성이 약화된다 고 보고하였다 [19].…”
