Relationship between the degree of cardiovascular adaptation and Th1/Th2 polarization of immune response

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2008 Oct;146(4):462-5. doi: 10.1007/s10517-009-0334-4.

Abstract

The main parameters of humoral immunity during medium intensity exercise were studied in oarsmen with high and low cardiovascular adaptation. A relationship between high cardiovascular adaptation to exercise and immune response polarization by the Th2 mechanism was demonstrated. Increased production of IL-10 in response to physical stress plays a key role in this relationship.
