Study & Design

Study Type
interventional
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AHR activation in CD4+ T cells (collected from venous blood) immediately after exercise compared to control. The primary endpoint is the comparison between intervention and control pre versus immediately post intervention / control cessation. AHR activation will be measured using art-PCR and flow cytometry.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AHR activation at all other measurement time points ((1h, 3h, 24h and 48h after cessation of intervention/control) measured in CD4+ cells from venous blood. AHR activation will be assessed using qrt-PCR and flow cytometry.<br><br>- Tryptophan metabolite levels in blood serum and urine using HPLC MS/MS<br>- Inflammation markers ((anti-)inflammatory cytokine profile) using ELISA<br><br><br>
