Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Florida-James, G., Whyte, G. P., Black, J., Ross, J., & Guy, K. (2007). Apoptosis does not contribute to the blood lymphocytopenia observed after intensive and downhill treadmill running in humans. Research in Sports Medicine, 15, 157-174. https://doi.org/10.1080/15438620701405339

The lymphocytopenia that occurs during the recovery stage of exercise may be a result of apoptosis through an increased expression of CD95, a loss of the complement regulatory proteins CD55 and CD59, or both. Trained subjects completed intensive, mod... Read More about Apoptosis does not contribute to the blood lymphocytopenia observed after intensive and downhill treadmill running in humans..

T-cell senescence occurs during aging as a consequence of chromosome telomere shortening in response to repetitive antigenic stimulation. Senescent T-lymphocytes normally exhibit a “memory” phenotype (i.e. CD62L-/CD45RA-/CD45RO+) and express CD57 and...
