Does a decrease in spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopy-determined frontal lobe tissue oxygenation by phenylephrine reflect reduced skin blood flow?
These findings suggest that a phenylephrine-induced decrease in ScO2, as determined by INVOS-4100 near-infrared spectroscopy, reflects vasoconstriction in the extracranial vasculature rather than a decrease in cerebral oxygenation.
High-intensity training impaired CD8(+)TL mobilization and egress in response to exercise. Highly cytotoxic CD8(+)TLs were primarily responsible for the reduced mobilization of CD8(+)TLs, which occurred in parallel with smaller neuroendocrine responses. The reduced capacity for CD8(+)TLs to leave blood after exercise with high-intensity training was accounted for primarily by naive, and also, highly cytotoxic CD8(+)TLs. This impaired CD8(+)TL redistribution in athletes undertaking intensified training may imply reduced immune surveillance.
