Blood tests were performed to determine Epstein Barr virus (EBV) status and DNA was genotyped for a panel of cytokine gene polymorphisms. Saliva was collected for measurement of IgA and detection of EBV DNA. Athletes were then followed for 9 months for self-reported episodes of respiratory illness, with confirmation of the underlying cause by a sports physician. There were no associations with risk of respiratory illness identified for any parameter assessed in the clinical evaluations. The laboratory parameters associated with an increased risk of respiratory illnesses in highly-trained athletes were cytokine gene polymorphisms for the high expression of IL-6 and IFN-γ expression of EBV-DNA in saliva; and low levels of salivary IgA concentration. A genetic risk score was developed for the cumulative number of minor alleles for the cytokines evaluated. Athletes prone to recurrent respiratory illness were more likely to have immune disturbances that allow viral reactivation, and a genetic predisposition to pro-inflammatory cytokine responses to intense exercise.]]> Thu 14 Mar 2019 16:50:14 AEDT ]]> Relationship between C-reactive protein concentration and cytokine responses to exercise in healthy and illness-prone runners https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7339 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:12 AEDT ]]> Variation of salivary immunoglobulins in exercising and sedentary populations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1548 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:41 AEDT ]]> Epstein-Barr virus reactivation and upper-respiratory illness in elite swimmers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1419 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:14 AEDT ]]> Resting plasma and salivary IL-6 concentrations are not correlated in distance runners https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5515 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:42 AEDT ]]> Clinical and laboratory evaluation of upper respiratory symptoms in elite athletes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5280 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:32 AEDT ]]> Influence of training loads on patterns of illness in elite distance runners https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:207 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:08 AEDT ]]> Inflammation and immune function: can antioxidants help the endurance athlete? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26873 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:42 AEDT ]]>
