This study extended to treadmill exercise training our prior report (Dishman RK, Warren JM, Youngstedt SD, Yoo H, Bunnell BN, Mougey EH, Meyerhoff JL, Jaso-Friedmann L, and Evans DL. J Appl Physiol 78: 1547-1554, 1995) that activity wheel running abolished the suppression of footshock-induced natural killer (NK) cell cytolysis. Twenty-four male Fischer 344 rats were assigned to one of three groups (n = 8, all groups): 1) a home-cage control group, 2) a sedentary treatment group, or 3) a treadmill-running group (0° incline, 25 m/min, 35 min/day, 6 days/wk). After 6 wk, the treadmill and sedentary groups received 2 days of footshock. Splenic NK cytotoxicity was determined by standard 4-h 51Cr release assay. Percentages of lymphocytes were determined by flow cytometry. Plasma levels of ACTH, corticosterone, and prolactin concentration were measured by radioimmunoassay. After footshock, percentage of lysis relative to home-cage controls was 40% and 80% for sedentary and treadmill-trained animals, respectively (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that the protective effect of chronic exercise on innate cellular immunity in the Fischer 344 male rat is not restricted to activity wheel running, nor is it explained by elevations in basal NK activity, increased percentages of splenic NK and cytotoxic T cells, or increased plasma levels of ACTH, corticosterone, and prolactin.
