The effects of acute stress on IL-6 content in the SME. (A) In response to exhaustive exercise, IL-6 protein content in the SME decreased as revealed by Immunoblot analysis (*P < 0.01; n ≥ 5). Increase in plasma lactate during exhaustive exercise bout demonstrates increase in intensity (B). Increase in plasma IL-6 (C) ACTH (D), and cortisol (E) in response to exercise (n ≥ 5). C, control; S, stress.
