The reduced bactericidal activity of neutrophils as an incisive indicator of water-immersion restraint stress and impaired exercise performance in mice.

ABSTRACT: The incisive evaluation of psychological stress may be required to determine the exercise performance of stressed hosts. We investigated objective markers of psychological stress that reflect exercise performance, focusing on the neutrophil function. We used murine water-immersion restraint (WIR) stress for our assessments. After receiving WIR for 1 or 2?h, mice were exercised on an airtight treadmill that monitors their respiratory exchange ratio. The neutrophil function was analyzed after WIR stress. Although the control mice (without WIR) showed good combustion of both carbohydrates and lipids as energy sources during treadmill exercise, mice that underwent 2-h WIR did not combust carbohydrates or lipids effectively, drastically reducing their performance. In contrast, the 1-h WIR mice showed carbohydrate combustion (albeit a slow response) but did not use lipids for energy, thereby running longer than the 2-h WIR mice but shorter than the control mice. The bactericidal activity of neutrophils, but not their superoxide production or microsphere-phagocytic activity, was significantly reduced by 1-h WIR and further reduced by 2-h WIR, indicating a significant association between WIR stress and exercise performance. The neutrophil bactericidal activity may be a good indicator of psychological stress and a useful tool for precisely assessing exercise performance.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the effect of different water immersion temperatures on the kinetics of blood markers of skeletal muscle damage and the main leukocyte subpopulations. Methods: Eleven recreationally trained young men participated in four experimental sessions consisting of unilateral eccentric knee flexion and 90 min of treadmill running at 70% of peak oxygen uptake, followed by 15 min of water immersion recovery at 15, 28 or 38°C. In the control condition participants remained seated at room temperature. Four hours after exercise recovery, participants completed a performance test. Blood samples were obtained before and immediately after exercise, after immersion, immediately before and after the performance test and 24 h after exercise. The number of leukocyte populations and the percentage of lymphocyte and monocytes subsets, as well as the serum activity of creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase were determined. Results: Leukocytosis and increase in blood markers of skeletal muscle damage were observed after the exercise. Magnitude effect analysis indicated that post-exercise hot-water immersion likely reduced the exercise-induced lymphocytosis and monocytosis. Despite reduced monocyte count, recovery by 38°C immersion, as well as 28°C, likely increased the percentage of non-classical monocytes in the blood. The percentage of CD25+ cells in the CD4 T cell subpopulation was possibly lower after immersion in water at 28 and 15°C. No effect of recovery by water immersion was observed for serum levels of creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase. Conclusions: Recovery by hot-water immersion likely attenuated the leukocytosis and increased the mobilization of non-classical monocytes induced by a single session of exercise combining resistance and endurance exercises, despite no effect of water immersion on markers of skeletal muscle damage. The monocyte response mediated by hot water immersion may lead to the improvement of the inflammatory response evoked by exercise in the skeletal muscle.
