Oat beta-glucan effects on neutrophil respiratory burst activity following exercise
Article Abstract:
The effects of the consumption of oat beta-glucan (ObetaG) on the neutrophile function and number after both moderate, as well as fatiguing exercise, is analyzed as it is supposed to be a mild immune system enhancer. The results show that both ObetaG and exercise can alter overall neutrophil burst activity, but only ObetaG increases both number and function, indicating important ramifications for its defense against infection.

Beneficial effect of glutamine on exercise-induced apoptosis of rat neutrophils
Article Abstract:
An examination to check the effect of single bout of intensive exercise on apoptosis of rat neutrophils and possible prevention by glutamine administration is conducted. Results highlight that neutrophils obtained from immature and mature rats show an increase in DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation and phosphatidylserine externalization, suggesting that all neutrophils suffered apoptosis.
