1. It is generally accepted that physical activity provokes changes in the immune system. Previous studies have demonstrated that the stress of physical activity (swimming until exhaustion) increases the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. However, the precise mechanisms remain unknown. 2. Two experiments were performed in the present study. (A) Peritoneal macrophages from control mice were incubated with plasma from three different groups of mice: (1) mice subjected to swimming until exhaustion with no previous training, (2) mice subjected to the same activity but with 1 month of training (30 min day-1), and (3) a control (non-exercised) group. The differences in the resulting phagocytic (attachment and ingestion) capacity were measured. (B) Changes in the concentration of plasma corticosterone after exercise were also measured, and the effect of incubation with the postexercise plasma corticosterone level on the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages was then studied in vitro. 3. The results were: (A) incubation with plasma from both groups of exercised mice (with and without previous training) led to increased levels of phagocytic capacity (number of C. albicans cells ingested per 100 macrophages). (B) Incubation with a corticosterone concentration of 0.72 mumol l-1 (similar to that observed in plasma immediately after exercise) raised the phagocytic capacity (144 +/- 12 after incubation with 0.72 mumol l-1 vs. 93 +/- 19 after incubation with 0.24 mumol l-1). This increase was also significantly greater than that observed with 7.2 mumol l-1 corticosterone. 4. It is concluded that corticosterone may mediate the increased phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages induced by exercise.
