Abstract
We demonstrate that autophagic stimulation occurs in response to short-duration (30-min) vigorous-intensity exercise in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from older adults; however, no changes in autophagy occur during low- or moderate-intensity exercise. Moreover, older adults exhibit autophagic impairments when the same vigorous-intensity exercise is performed in hot ambient conditions. When paired with an attenuated heat shock response, as well as elevated apoptotic responses, older men may exhibit greater cellular vulnerability to exertional heat stress.
