Abstract
The purposes of this study were to determine plasma and intestinal epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) concentrations in mice after exercise stress and, the effect of intravenous injection of E and NE (at concentrations during exercise) on viability of intestinal lymphocytes (IL). Exhaustive exercise significantly elevated plasma E and NE, and intestinal E, compared with sedentary animals. Twenty-four hours after intravenous NE administration, IL counts were higher (p<0.001) and % apoptotic IL were lower (p<0.001) than saline conditions. E resulted in fewer apoptotic IL at 24 h compared to saline controls. E and NE differentially influence IL numbers at 24 h after injection although both result in fewer % apoptotic IL relative to mice given saline only.
