Exam 4: Effects of Exercise on Innate Immune Function

Which of the following cell types involved in innate immunity shows the largest increase in circulating numbers (compared with pre-exercise) during recovery from prolonged strenuous exercise?

Which of the following is an acute-phase protein and increases after prolonged exercise?

A reduction in the expression of which of the following proteins on the surface of monocytes could explain the exercise-induced depression of both innate and acquired immune cell functions?

Which of the following aspects of neutrophil function is not decreased during intensive exercise?

Exercise training has consistently been shown to depress natural killer cell numbers and cytolytic activity.

In response to acute exercise, there is a preferential mobilisation of CD14⁺/CD16⁺ expressing monocytes.

The number of neutrophils engaging in phagocytosis is decreased by acute exercise but their phagocytic capacity is increased.

Which of the following macrophage functions is depressed by prolonged exercise?

Exercise training increases blood neutrophil counts in those with chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g. people who are obese)

Which of the following is not involved in regulation of innate immune cell function during exercise?
