Exercise and cellular innate immune function
Article Abstract:
Epidemiological evidence suggests there is a link between exercise intensity and infectious disease. Macrophages, natural killer cells, and polymorphonuclear neutrophils cells are the body's first defenses against foreign invasion, and production of these cells is stimulated by exercise. The precise mechanism of this relationship is not resolved.
