ABSTRACT
The effect of carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion on antigen- (rather than mitogen-) stimulated T-cell responses to prolonged, intensive exercise may give a more realistic insight into the effect of CHO on T-cell functional capacity and subsequent infection risk. This study investigated the effect of CHO ingestion during prolonged, intensive exercise on influenza- and tetanus toxoid-stimulated T-cell cytokine mRNA expression and proliferation. Mitogen- [phytohemagglutinin (PHA)] stimulated proliferation was assessed for comparison. Responses were assessed following exercise on consecutive mornings to determine any carryover effect. Fifteen male games players performed two exercise trials in a double-blind, randomized, crossover design. Each trial comprised 90 min of intensive, intermittent running on consecutive mornings, with either CHO (6.4% wt/vol) or placebo (PLA) beverage ingestion before, during, and after each bout of exercise. Postexercise CD3(+) cell counts were higher in PLA than CHO on both days (P < 0.05). Antigen-stimulated T-cell cytokine mRNA expression was unaffected by exercise or CHO ingestion. Before exercise on day 2, T-cell proliferative responses to PHA, influenza, and tetanus toxoid were higher in CHO than PLA by 99, 80, and 58%, respectively (P < 0.01 for PHA, P < 0.05 for influenza and tetanus toxoid). At 1 h postexercise on day 2, PHA-induced proliferation was 70% higher in CHO than PLA (P < 0.05), yet there were no differences between trials for antigen-induced proliferative responses. Therefore, mitogen-induced T-cell proliferation following strenuous exercise and CHO does not necessarily reflect responses to specific antigens and, consequently, may not provide a good model for the situation in vivo.
