Does blood treatment influence the yield of apoptotic lymphocytes after maximal exercise?
Lymphocyte isolation results in a significant decrease in the percent of apoptotic lymphocytes after exhaustive exercise. This reduction is likely due to the time needed to isolate cells, rather than the isolation process itself. Because apoptosis is a time-sensitive process that occurs within minutes rather than hours, the length of time from initial sampling to the preparation of cells for assessment of apoptosis is critical and should be considered in future exercise studies.
These results provide a novel insight into the molecular mechanism involved in anti-adipogenic action of γ-T3 in humans via AMPK and autophagy activation. Thus, γ-T3 may constitute a new dietary avenue to attenuate hyperplastic obesity in humans.
