    Notes: Abstract To examine whether endotoxaemia accompanying long-term, strenuous physical exercise is involved in exercise-induced increase in plasma tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) concentration and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) activation, 14 male recreational athletes [mean age 28 (SEM 1) years] were studied. Exercise consisted of a 1.5-km river swim, a 40-km bicycle race, and a 10-km road race. Mean time to complete the race was 149.8 (SEM 4.8) min. The plasma concentrations of granulocyte myeloperoxidase (MPO) and TNF-α were significantly higher than baseline values immediately and 1 h after exercise (P 〈 0.001). Both variables returned to pre-race levels the day after exercise. Marked, transient decreases in plasma concentrations of anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies directed against a panel of selected smooth gram-negative LPS were observed after the race, reaching in most cases minimal values in the blood sample drawn immediately following the completion of the triathlon. There was no significant correlation between the magnitude of PMN activation, as assessed by the increase in plasma concentrations of MPO, and the humoral markers of endotoxaemia and TNF-α. An inverse, highly significant relationship between the increase in plasma TNF-α concentrations and the changes in circulating anti-LPS IgM antibodies concentrations was observed (r = −0.7; P 〈 0.01). These findings suggest that exercise-induced endotoxaemia was involved in the release of TNF-α, that the magnitude of the TNF-α response to exercise was down-regulated by anti-LPS antibodies of the IgM class, and that the production of TNF-α and endotoxaemia did not seem to play a role in the activation of circulating PMN in the exercising subjects.
