Özet:Endocannabinoid and immune system alterations at moderate (18 m/min) and endurance (32 m/min) exercise intensities were assessed and compared to controls. Rats were exercised for 60 minutes/day, 5 days/week for 16 weeks. Immune effector cell proportions (T cell subtypes, B cells, NK cells, and neutrophils) and endocannabinoid serum levels were determined. Anandamide (ANA) and 2 arachidonyl-glycerol (2-AG) serum levels increased with endurance type of exercise. mRNA expression of the CB1 receptor increased together with ANA in the same group. Apoptotic index increased while immune effector cells responded divergently. B lymphocyte percentage decreased while T lymphocyte and NK cell percentage increased in blood. CD8+ subtypes increased whereas CD11b+ cell and CD25+ cell numbers decreased in the spleen in the endurance type of exercise group. Rats were grouped as the control, the endurance type of exercise, the AM281 (CB1 receptor antagonist) and the AM281+AM630 (CB2 receptor antagonist) groups in the second part of the study. Flow cytometry and microarray analyses of the spleen and the thymus were conducted. Endurance type of exercise associated significantly to immunological changes particularly to that of the T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes increased whereas cytolytic T lymphocytes decreased in blood. T cell and double positive T cell percentages significantly increased in the spleen. Activated T cells and NK like T cells furthermore decreased in the spleen. AM281 and/or AM630 could partially reverse the effect of exercise in blood but not in the spleen. Alterations in the thymus were not observed. Exercise altered 302 genes, some of them related with the immune system. Up-regulation of heat-shock protein coding genes was the most significant ones.
