Excessive Accumulation of Intracellular Ca2+ After Acute Exercise Potentiated Impairment of T-cell Function

Ca2+ is an important intracellular second messenger known to regulate several cellular functions. This research aimed to investigate the mechanisms of exercise-induced immunosuppression by measuring intracellular calcium levels, Ca2+-regulating gene expression, and agonist-evoked proliferation of mu...

This research aimed to investigate the mechanisms of exercise-induced immunosuppression by measuring intracellular calcium levels, Ca2+-regulating gene expression, and agonist-evoked proliferation of murine splenic T lymphocytes. Mice were randomly assigned to the control, sedentary group (C), and three experimental groups, which performed a single bout of intensive and exhaustive treadmill exercise.

In summary, this study demonstrated that acute exercise affected intracellular calcium homeostasis, most likely by enhancing transmembrane Ca2+ influx into cells and by reducing expression of Ca2+-ATPases such as PMCA and SERCA.
