Gender differences in macrophage antiviral function following exercise stress
Article Abstract:
A study investigates gender differences in macrophage antiviral resistance following repeated moderate and exhaustive treadmill exercise. Data from the study suggest that altered macrophage antiviral resistance to herpes simplex virus-type one (HSV-1) might contribute to gender differences in in vivo resistance to HSV-1 respiratory infection at rest, as well as following moderate and exhaustive exercise.

Gender differences in viral infection after repeated exercise stress
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to examine the effects of gender on susceptility to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) respiratory infection after repeated exhaustive exercise. The result suggests that males and females have similar morbidity rates after infection and exercise stress, females recover to a greater extent and are ultimately protected from death.

Effects of Oat beta-glucan on innate immunity and infection after exercise stress
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to investigate the effects of oat beta glucan on respiratory infection, macropahge antiviral resistance and natural killer cytotoxity. The result suggests that daily ingestion of oat beta glucan may offset the increased risk of URTI associated with exercise stress.
