Serum chemistry and hematological adaptations to 6 weeks of moderate to intense resistance training

This study examined immune cell and blood chemistry changes occurring in trained weightlifters after 1 week of rest followed by 6 weeks of Olympic-style resistance exercise. Blood was drawn weekly after 1 day of rest at the same time and on the same day of the week for 7 weeks. Lymphocyte numbers increased in weeks 5 through 7. Sodium concentration rose above entry levels in week 2, remained elevated, and peaked in week 5. Direct bilirubin dropped below baseline values in the final week. Chloride and alkaline phosphatase concentrations increased as training progressed. Chloride, potassium, albumin, CO(2), and alkaline phosphatase concentrations peaked in weeks 4 through 6. Serum creatinine was elevated in weeks 2 through 5. Data indicate that resistance training induces changes in immune cell count and blood chemistry that remain within, or near, normal clinical values. It appears that resistance training does not induce immunosuppression or negatively affect hepatic or renal function.     

Babesia major: protection of intact calves against homologous challenge by the injection of irradiated piroplasms.

Blood from a splenectomized calf infected with Babesia major was divided into 20 ml aliquots which were γ-irradiated at doses of 0, 23.3, 27.3, 31.4, 35.4 and 39.5 krad and then inoculated into groups of three intact calves. Animals receiving non-irradiated blood had typical mild B. major reactions, but those receiving blood irradiated at 23.3, 27.3 and 31.4 krad and 2 of 3 receiving blood irradiated at 35.4 krad had minimal reactions. The remaining 4 animals had no detectable parasitaemic reactions. When the calves were challenged with a similar number (6.0 × 10⁹) of homologous parasites, they were all immune with the exception of the 4 animals which had not reacted initially. The immune status of individual cattle was reflected accurately in the results of the micro-ELISA test, which detected a significant rise in serum antibody titre of the 4 susceptible animals 7 days after challenge.

The Effect of Citrulline/Malate on Blood Lactate Levels in Intensive Exercise

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Citrulline/Malate supplementation with intensive training on blood lactate level in active handball players. The athletes were subjected to intense training for 4 weeks, 4 days a week, mainly pre-season strength and technique training. In this training period, stimol group (n = 11) athletes were given stimol 3 times a day as 1 g for breakfast, 1 g for lunch, and 1 g for dinner while the placebo group (n = 11) athletes were given only placebo in the same dosage and the same color at the same time. Blood lactate levels in athletes were measured 4 times, prior to and after a 1-month program as follows: rest (R), end effort (EE), recuperation 5 min (R5 m), and recuperation 20 min (R20 m). Blood lactate levels were compared both as intra-group and between the groups. In intra-group comparison, no change was observed in blood lactate levels in placebo group while a significant difference was found in the levels of stimol group as p < 0.05 with a 49.8% decrease in blood lactate level. In the measurements between groups, in the post-test measurements made after the training period, significant differences as p < 0.05 were found with a 60.7% decrease in blood lactate level EE. Considerable decline was seen especially immediately after exercise in blood lactate levels of the athletes being given stimol supplement. In this case, we can say that Citrulline/Malate supplementation may contribute positively to the performance of athletes and may help postpone fatigue at excessive or prolonged activity.     

Postural specificity of cardiovascular adaptations to exercise training

The purposes of this study were to determine 1) whether posture affects the magnitude of cardiovascular adaptations to training and 2) whether cardiovascular adaptations resulting from exercise training in the supine posture transfer (generalize) to exercise in the upright posture and vice versa. Sixteen sedentary men, aged 18-33 yr, were trained using high-intensity interval and prolonged continuous cycling in the supine (STG; supine training group) or upright (UTG; upright training group) posture 4 days/wk, 40 min/day, for 8 wk, while seven male subjects served as nontraining controls. After training, maximal O2 uptake measured during supine and upright cycling, respectively, increased significantly (P less than 0.05) by 22.9 and 16.1% in the STG and by 6.0 and 14.6% in the UTG. No significant cardiovascular adaptations were observed at rest. During submaximal supine cycling at 100 W, significant increases in end-diastolic volume (21%) and stroke volume (22%) (radionuclide ventriculography and CO2 rebreathing) and decreases in heart rate, blood pressure, and systemic vascular resistance occurred in the STG, whereas only a significant decrease in blood pressure occurred in the UTG. During upright cycling at 100 W, a significant decrease in blood pressure occurred in the STG, whereas significant increases in end-diastolic volume (17%) and stroke volume (18%) and decreases in blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance occurred in the UTG. Volume of myocardial contractility, ejection fraction, and systolic blood pressure-to-end-systolic volume ratio did not change significantly after training when measured during supine and upright cycling in either training group. Blood volume increased significantly in the UTG but remained unchanged in the STG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effect of lycopene on oxytetracycline-induced oxidative stress and immunosuppression in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, W.)

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of lycopene on oxytetracycline (OTC)-induced oxidative stress and immunosuppression in rainbow trout. The experimental fish analysed in this study were divided into 6 different experimental groups. Group 1 was the control group, and groups 2, 3 and 4 received corn oil, lycopene and OTC, respectively, for 14 days. Group 5 received OTC for 14 days after lycopene pre-treatment for 14 days, while group 6 received OTC for 14 days before lycopene post-treatment for 14 days. Blood and tissue samples were collected at the end of the experiment and analysed for the oxidant-antioxidant status and changes in the immune response. There was a significant increase in the malondialdehyde level, which is an index of lipid peroxidation, and a decrease in superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activity as well as a decrease in the glutathione level in the blood, liver, kidney and spleen of OTC-treated fish. Glutathione-S-transferase activity was significantly increased in the blood, liver, kidney and spleen samples of the group that received OTC alone. OTC also appeared to suppress specific and nonspecific immune system parameters, such as the haematocrit, leucocyte count, oxidative radical production (nitroblue tetrazolium activity), total plasma protein and immunoglobulin levels and phagocytic activity. Pre- and post-treatment with lycopene attenuated the OTC-induced oxidative stress by significantly decreasing the tissue malondialdehyde level. The superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities as well as the glutathione levels were significantly increased with lycopene administration, while glutathione-S-transferase activity was significantly decreased. Lycopene administration was also associated with a significant increase in the OTC-suppressed immune system parameters in fish. Thus, the present results suggest that pre- and post-treatment with lycopene (10 mg per kg fish weight, delivered orally) may alleviate OTC-induced oxidative stress and immunosuppression.     

Analysis of several serum enzymes and blood urea nitrogen of swainsonine–HSA immunized goats

Locoweeds cause significant livestock poisoning and economic loss all over the world. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immune effect of locoweed toxin, swainsonine (SW), and human serum albumin (HSA) immunoconjugate (SW–HSA) on goats. Twenty four Sannon goats were randomly separated into immune control group, immune poisoning group I, immune poisoning group II and poisoning control group. Immune control group, immune poisoning group I and II were first vaccinated with SW–HSA immunoconjugate. Then, the poisoning control group, immune poisoning group I and II were fed with 10.0 g/kg BW/d dry powder of Oxytropis kansuensis Bunge in every morning and the duration of poisoning was 80 days. The immune control group was supplied with an alfalfa-based diet. Blood samples of these experimental animals were collected every 7 days after poisoning, and the serum enzymes α-mannosidase (AMA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were analyzed. Comparing with the poisoning control group, the changes of serum LDH, AKP, AST, AMA and BUN level of the two immune groups (I and II) were delayed 28, 14, 28, 21, 14 days, respectively, which indicated that SW–HSA immunoconjugate could prevent tissues containing BUN and these serum enzymes of the experimental animals from Oxytropis kansuensis Bunge injuring during these days. In the whole study, SW–HSA immunoconjugate and swainsonine did not influence serum ALT levels of the experimental goats.     

Chronic conventional resistance exercise reduces blood pressure in stage 1 hypertensive men

To investigate the antihypertensive effects of conventional resistance exercise (RE) on the blood pressure (BP) of hypertensive subjects, 15 middle-aged (46 ± 3 years) hypertensive volunteers, deprived of antihypertensive medication (reaching 153 ± 6/93 ± 2 mm Hg systolic/diastolic BP after a 6-week medication washout period) were submitted to a 12-week conventional RE training program (3 sets of 12 repetitions at 60% 1 repetition maximum, 3 times a week on nonconsecutive days). Blood pressure was measured in all phases of the study (washout, training, detraining). Additionally, the plasma levels of several vasodilators or vasoconstrictors that potentially could be involved with the effects of RE on BP were evaluated pre- and posttraining. Conventional RE significantly reduced systolic, diastolic, and mean BP, respectively, by an average of 16 (p < 0.001), 12 (p < 0.01), and 13 mm Hg (p < 0.01) to prehypertensive values. There were no significant changes of vasoactive factors from the kallikrein-kinin or renin-angiotensin systems. After the RE training program, the BP values remained stable during a 4-week detraining period. Taken together, this study shows for the first time that conventional moderate-intensity RE alone is able to reduce the BP of stage 1 hypertensive subjects free of antihypertensive medication. Moreover, the benefits of BP reduction achieved with RE training remained unchanged for up to 4 weeks without exercise.     

Effect of exercise training on antioxidant enzymes and cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin

The purpose of this study was to correlate the exercise-induced changes of oxidant stress enzymes with possible modification of the response to the putative oxidant stressor doxorubicin. Enzymatic and histological changes were studied in mice placed on a 21-wk swim training program (1 h/day, 5 days/wk) with and without anthracycline administration. Doxorubicin (4 mg/kg) was administered intravenously through a tail vein on 10 separate days over a 7-wk period (twice weekly during weeks 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16). Blood, liver, and heart levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GP) were measured following the 9th and 21st wk. Myocardial histomorphological observations were made by light microscopy after 21 wk. Following 9 wk of training swim-trained animals had significantly elevated levels of CAT, SOD, and GP in blood, as well as elevated GP in liver. After 21 wk, trained animals, regardless of drug status, had elevated blood CAT and SOD activity and increased liver CAT and GP. Training also produced increases in blood GP, liver SOD, and heart CAT; however, in conjunction with doxorubicin these changes were not seen. The degree of cardiotoxicity was significantly greater in the sedentary drug-treated animals than in the swim-trained drug-treated animals. The results suggest a correlation between antioxidant enzyme levels in blood and liver and the degree of damage caused by an anthracycline drug. It was concluded that exercise ameliorates severe toxic damage caused by doxorubicin administration, possibly by increasing enzymes that combat free radical damage.     

Lymphocyte proliferation kinetics and genotoxic findings in a pilot study on individuals chronically exposed to arsenic in Mexico

In the search for early biological markers to detect genetic damage, a pilot study on a hydroarsenicism-exposed group was designed. Blood and urine samples were taken from 11 individuals chronically exposed and from 13 individuals with lower exposure to the metal. Lymphocyte cultures for cytogenetic studies and HGPRT assay were done with coded peripheral blood samples, while arsenic levels and the “rec assay” in B. subtilis were determined in urine samples. The highly exposed group excreted greater amounts of As, nevertheless the rec assay showed negative results. An interesting finding is that the cell-cycle kinetics exhibited a significant difference between the groups studied, the average generation time (AGT) was longer in the highly exposed group. The percentages of chromosomal aberrations and the frequencies of sister-chromatid exchanges were similar in both populations, although complex aberrations were more frequent in the highly exposed group, which also showed a higher average variation frequency in the HGPRT assay, but the 2 latter observations were not statistically significant. The lag in lymphocyte proliferation could mean an impairment of the immune response due to arsenic exposure.     

Effects of Moderate Aerobic Exercise Training on Hemorheological and Laboratory Parameters in Ischemic Heart Disease Patients

Background and Design

In this study we set out to determine the effects of long-term physical training on hemorheological, laboratory parameters, exercise tolerability, psychological factors in cardiac patients participating in an ambulatory rehabilitation program.

Methods

Before physical training, patients were examined by echocardiography, tested on treadmill by the Bruce protocol, and blood was drawn for laboratory tests. The enrolled 79 ischemic heart disease patients joined a 24-week cardiac rehabilitation training program. Blood was drawn to measure hematocrit (Hct), plasma and whole blood viscosity (PV, WBV), red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and deformability. Hemorheological, clinical chemistry and psychological measurements were repeated 12 and 24 weeks later, and a treadmill test was performed at the end of the program.

Results

After 12 weeks Hct, PV, WBV and RBC aggregation were significantly decreased, RBC deformability exhibited a significant increase (p<0.05). Laboratory parameters (triglyceride, uric acid, hsCRP and fibrinogen) were significantly decreased (p<0.05). After 24 weeks the significant results were still observed. By the end of the study, IL-6 and TNF-α levels displayed decreasing trends (p<0.06). There was a significant improvement in MET (p<0.001), and the BMI decrease was also significant (p<0.05). The vital exhaustion parameters measured on the fatigue impact scale indicated a significant improvement in two areas of the daily activities (p<0.05).

Conclusions

Regular physical training improved the exercise tolerability of patients with ischemic heart disease. Previous publications have demonstrated that decreases in Hct and PV may reduce cardiovascular risk, while a decrease in RBC aggregation and an increase in deformability improve the capillary flow. Positive changes in laboratory parameters and body weight may indicate better oxidative and inflammatory circumstances and an improved metabolic state. The psychological findings point to an improvement in the quality of life.     

Supramaximal exercise after training-induced hypervolemia. II. Blood/muscle substrates and metabolites

Blood and muscle substrates and metabolites were investigated in six healthy males (ranging in age from 19 to 23 yr) during three consecutive days of supramaximal exercise training. Muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis and arterialized blood samples from a hand vein were extracted before the exercise and at selected times during the intermittent (1 min work to 4 min rest) cycling. The results indicated that blood glucose concentration was significantly depressed (P less than 0.05) on both days 2 and 3 of the training, whereas plasma free fatty acids and blood glycerol, pyruvate, alanine, and lactate were unaffected. At the muscle level, glucose and lactate concentrations were depressed on days 2 and 3, whereas ATP and glycogen were reduced only on the final day of training. No training-induced alterations were noted for muscle glucose 6-phosphate or muscle ADP. These results indicate that the approximate 10-11% reduction in O2-carrying capacity accompanying the short-term training does not directly and negatively influence muscle energy metabolism during the exercise. Rather, the explanation for the altered muscle and blood constituents must be sought from other effects of the training such as impaired carbohydrate repletion.     

Specificity of physiological adaptation to endurance training in distance runners and competitive walkers

The present study was designed to evaluate the specificity of physiological adaptation to extra endurance training in five female competitive walkers and six female distance runners. The mean velocity (v) during training, corresponding to 4 mM blood lactate [onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)] during treadmill incremental exercise (training v was 2.86 m.s-1, SD 0.21 in walkers and 4.02 m.s-1, SD 0.11 in runners) was added to their normal training programme and was performed for 20 min, 6 days a week for 8 weeks, and was called extra training. An additional six female distance runners performed only their normal training programme every day for about 120 min at an exercise intensity equivalent to their lactate threshold (LT) (i.e. a running v of about 3.33 m.s-1). After the extra training, there were statistically significant increases in blood lactate variables (i.e. oxygen uptake (VO2) at LT, v at LT, VO2 at OBLA, v at OBLA; P less than 0.05), and running v for 3,000 m (P less than 0.01) in the running training group. In the walking training group, there were significant increases in blood lactate variables (i.e., v at LT, v at OBLA; P less than 0.05), and walking economy. In contrast, there were no significant changes in lactate variables, running v and economy in the group of runners which carried out only the normal training programme. It is suggested that the changes in blood lactate variables such as LT and OBLA played a role in improving v of both the distance runners and the competitive walkers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Cage culture effects on mullets (Mugilidae) liver histology and blood chemistry profile

A comparative study of blood chemistry and histology was conducted on two groups of mullets (Mugilidae) living under different conditions with different feed sources. The aquaculture influenced mullet group (AIM), was collected near fish farms and the control group of mullet (CM) was caught in the waters without any aquaculture activities. Histological and biochemical procedures were employed to study liver histomorphology, plasma aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST, ALT), triglyceride (TRIG), cholesterol (CHOL), glucose (GLU) and total protein (TP) of both AIM and CM. Moderate histological changes (lipid infiltration) were observed in the liver of AIM. Significant changes in plasma variables were observed in AIM. Blood chemistry variables measured proved to be good indicators of artificial feed effects. Classical statistical approaches were applied to the blood chemistry and histopathology data. For the first time machine learning techniques were used to generate comprehensible classification models and to explore blood chemistry variable importance, strength, their mutual interactions or dependencies, and to investigate reliability of particular variables within the groups.     

The therapeutic effect of aerobic exercise with resistance training in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of aerobic exercise alone and aerobic exercise with resistance training on the quality of life in men over the age of 55 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 54 participants were divided into the following three groups so that there were no significant differences in blood chemistry or physical ability indexes among the three groups: control, aerobic exercise, and aerobic exercise with resistance training. The latter two groups exercised for 24 weeks, while the control group performed no exercise. Blood chemistry levels and measures of physical ability in each group members were examined one day before and one day after the exercise regimens. Results: Compared with those before the study, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels as well as vital capacity, reaction time, sit-and-reach ability, and balancing while standing on one leg with closed eyes were significantly improved in the aerobic exercise only group(P 0.05). All these measures as well as high-density lipoprotein levels and grip, back, and leg strength were significantly improved in the combined aerobic and resistance training group(P 0.05). By contrast, no significant differences before and after the experiment were found in any measure for the control group(P 0.05). Conclusion: Although both aerobic exercise and aerobic exercise combined with resistance training for 24 weeks effectively improved the quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes, the effect of the combined training was better than that of aerobic exercise alone. These results suggest that resistance training may be safely added to the rehabilitation training regimen of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.     

Gonadal hormone-dependent and -independent regulation of immune function by photoperiod in Siberian hamsters

Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) exhibit changes in reproductive and immune function in response to seasonal variations in day length. Exposure to short days induces gonadal regression and inhibits testosterone secretion. In parallel, short days enhance immune function: increasing leukocyte numbers and attenuating cytokine and behavioral responses to infection. We examined whether photoperiodic changes in leukocyte phenotypes and sickness behaviors are dependent on concurrent photoperiodic changes in gonadal function. Male hamsters were gonadectomized or sham-gonadectomized and either exposed to short days (9 h light/day; SD) or kept in their natal long-day (15 h light/day; LD) photoperiod for 10-13 wk. Blood samples were obtained for leukocyte enumeration, and hamsters were challenged with bacterial LPS, which induced behavioral (anorexia, reductions in nest building) and somatic (weight loss) sickness responses. Among gonad-intact hamsters, exposure to SD increased total and CD62L+ lymphocytes and CD3+ T lymphocytes in blood and significantly attenuated LPS-induced sickness responses. Independent of photoperiod, castration alone increased total and CD62L+ lymphocyte and CD3+ T lymphocyte numbers and attenuated somatic and anorexic sickness responses. Among castrated hamsters, SD exposure increased lymphocyte numbers and suppressed sickness behaviors. In castrated hamsters, the magnitude of most immunological effects of SD were diminished relative to those evident in gonad-intact hamsters. The SD phenotype in several measures of immunity can be instated via elimination of gonadal hormones alone; however, photoperiodic effects on immune function persist even in castrated hamsters. Thus, photoperiod affects the immune system and neural-immune interactions underlying sickness behaviors via gonadal hormone-dependent and -independent mechanisms.     

A novel hemoglobin-based blood substitute protects against myocardial reperfusion injury

HBOC-201 (Biopure; Cambridge, MA) is a glutaraldehyde-polymerized bovine hemoglobin (Hb) solution that is stroma free, has lower viscosity than blood, and promotes O(2) unloading. We investigated the effects of HBOC-201 in a canine model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Dogs were anesthetized and subjected to 90 min of regional myocardial ischemia and 270 min of reperfusion. HBOC-201 or 0.9% saline vehicle equivalent to 10% total blood volume was infused 30 min before myocardial ischemia. Hemodynamic data and peripheral blood samples were taken at baseline, 1 h of myocardial ischemia, and 1, 2, and 4 h of reperfusion. At 270 min of reperfusion, the area at risk (AAR) per left ventricle and the area of infarction (Inf) per AAR were determined. The myocardial AARs in the two study groups were similar. In addition, myocardial blood flow (as measured by radioactive microspheres) in the ischemic zone was similar between the vehicle and HBOC-201 groups. HBOC-201-infused dogs demonstrated a significant (P < 0.01) 56% reduction in Inf/AAR. Analysis of blood samples taken at 4 h of reperfusion showed a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in creatine kinase MB isoform for the HBOC-201 group. Histological analysis of the myocardium demonstrated significant (P < 0.01) reductions in neutrophil infiltration in the HBOC-201 group. These data indicate that treatment with HBOC-201 before myocardial ischemia-reperfusion reduces the extent of myocardial inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion injury in the canine myocardium.     

圈养黑猩猩血液生理生化指标测定

正动物园作为综合保护、科普宣传与公众教育的重要场所,在濒危物种的迁地保护工作中发挥着十分重要的作用(Kleiman et al.,2010)。然而,不同的濒危物种在生理学及生活史方面存在很大差异;加之部分物种的生物学信息匮乏,使得动物园的饲养繁育和疾病防控工作面临重大挑战。在常规体检及疾病诊断时,血液参数值有助于对动物机体的临床检查与诊断,解读动物的生理、营养和病理状态(胡翊群,2004;Etim et al.,2014),是及时发现动物
