Effect of blood handling on extracellular Hsp72 concentration after high-intensity exercise in humansM Whitham
School of Sport, Health, and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, George Building, Holyhead Road, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 2PZ, UK
Cell Stress Chaperones 11:304-8. 2006..13 +/- 0.24, SR: 0.20 +/- 0.32 ng/mL). Because previous research has tended to report serum data at the lowest point of the detectable range of the assay, it is recommended that EDTA specimen tubes be used in future investigations...
The effect of exercise training on the kinetics of the antibody response to influenza vaccinationM Whitham
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales Bangor, George Building, Holyhead Road, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 2PX, UK
J Sports Sci 21:991-1000. 2003..The training loads of the participants in this study had no effect on overall IgG measured 14 days after vaccination...
Leukocyte heat shock protein expression before and after intensified trainingM Whitham
Human Performance Laboratory, School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK
Int J Sports Med 25:522-7. 2004..The present study showed that a period of intensified training caused adaptations in the acute heat shock protein exercise response, reflected by a greater increase of cell surface HSP positive leukocytes following heavy training...
Effect of caffeine supplementation on the extracellular heat shock protein 72 response to exerciseMartin Whitham
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, Holyhead Rd, Bangor LL57 2PZ, UK
J Appl Physiol 101:1222-7. 2006..The present data suggest that, in humans, catecholamines may be an important mediator of the exercise-induced increase in eHSP72 concentration...
Heat shock protein 72: release and biological significance during exerciseMartin Whitham
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, LL57 2PZ, United Kingdom
Front Biosci 13:1328-39. 2008..In particular, the possible role of eHsp72 in the modulation of immunity during exercise is discussed...
Effect of a carbohydrate mouthwash on running time-trial performanceMartin Whitham
Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, UK
J Sports Sci 25:1385-92. 2007..Blood lactate and glucose increased as a result of the exercise protocol, with no between-trial differences. In conclusion, there was no positive effect of a carbohydrate mouthwash on running performance of approximately 1 h duration...
Effect of exercise with and without a thermal clamp on the plasma heat shock protein 72 responseMartin Whitham
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Science University of Wales, Bangor Holyhead Rd, Bangor LL57 2PZ, UK
J Appl Physiol 103:1251-6. 2007..Moreover, the catecholamine data from PHT suggest neither epinephrine nor norepinephrine was solely responsible for eHSP72 release...
Salivary Hsp72 does not track exercise stress and caffeine-stimulated plasma Hsp72 responses in humansMatthew B Fortes
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Bangor University, Holyhead Road, Bangor, Gwynedd, UK
Cell Stress Chaperones 16:345-52. 2011..Salivary Hsp72 was not altered by exercise stress nor caffeine supplementation, and concentrations did not track plasma Hsp72 concentration...
The influence of an arduous military training program on immune function and upper respiratory tract infection incidenceMartin Whitham
School of Sport, Health, and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor LL57 2PZ, United Kingdom
Mil Med 171:703-9. 2006..05). These results show a limited effect of PARA training on URTI incidence and immune function. The progressive decrease in saliva flow rate during PARA training may indicate an ensuing state of hypohydration...
Exercising in environmental extremes : a greater threat to immune function?Neil P Walsh
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, UK
Sports Med 36:941-76. 2006..Studies have reported suppressed cell-mediated immunity in mountaineers at high altitude and in astronauts after re-entering the normal gravity environment; however, the impact of this finding on resistance to infection remains unclear...
Life events, perceived stress and antibody response to influenza vaccination in young, healthy adultsVictoria E Burns
School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Birmingham, B15 2TT, Birmingham, UK
J Psychosom Res 55:569-72. 2003..Chronic stress has been associated with impaired response to influenza vaccination in the elderly. This study investigated whether mild, intermittent stress experienced by young, healthy adults has a similar effect...
No endogenous circadian rhythm in resting plasma Hsp72 concentration in humansMatthew B Fortes
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Bangor University, George Building, Holyhead Road, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2PZ, UK
Cell Stress Chaperones 14:273-80. 2009..8-7.7% (mean 5.4%). Mean Hsp72 concentration across all subjects and time points was 1.49 +/- 0.08 ngml(-1). These data show that in a rested state, plasma eHsp72 concentration shows no apparent endogenous circadian rhythm...
Human blood neutrophil responses to prolonged exercise with and without a thermal clampStewart J Laing
Olympic Medical Institute, Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow
J Appl Physiol 104:20-6. 2008..In addition, these results suggest a limited role for cortisol, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and IL-6 in the observed neutrophil responses to prolonged exercise...
