Parameter	Fasting	Fed	EX
Annexin V + cells, %MNC	12.3 ± 3.5	12.4 ± 5.3	8.2 ± 4.7
Annexin V + cells, %LYM	1.6 ± 0.4	2.4 ± 1.4	1.7 ± 0.7
Annexin V + cells, %MONO	69.2 ± 9.2	63.1 ± 23.7	50.3 ± 17.9
LC3B + cells, %MNC	4.8. ± 3.2	3.1 ± 2.5	1.8 ± 1.3
LC3B + cells, %LYM	0.27 ± 0.13	0.13 ± 0.09	0.11 ± 0.03*
LC3B + cells, %MONO	26.4 ± 14.7	16.2 ± 11.8	11.8 ± 7.0*

Values are reported as mean ± SD, n_Fasting, _{Fed or EX} = 5. Fasting, after fasting for 14–15 h; Fed, after a standardized breakfast (2 croissants, no coffee, water ad libitum) and an identical power bar right before the acute exercise; EX, 5’ after an exhaustive acute exercise test; MNC, mononuclear cells; LYM, lymphocytes; MONO, monocytes; significant main effects of condition are indicated as follows: *p < 0.05; post-hoc analysis did not indicate any significant differences between the control condition (Fed) and Fasting or EX
