Better in 2013...jump up, jump around...and fire up those Natural Killer cells!!!

IMPACT OF BRIEF EXERCISE ON PERIPHERAL BLOOD NK CELL GENE AND Micro RNA EXPRESSION IN YOUNG ADULTS  
From:  Journal of Applied Physiology, January 3, 2013  By: Radom-Aizik, Aldivar, Haddad, Cooper.

"Natural Killer (NK) cells are unique innate immune cells that increase up to fivefold in the circulating blood with brief exercise and are known to play a key role in first-response defense against pathogens and cancer immunosurveillance." "Thirteen healthy men performed ten 2 minute bouts of cycle ergometer exercise at a constant work equivalent to an average of 77%, interspersed with 1 minute of rest.  Blood was drawn before and immediately after the exercise challenge."  Lots of fancy tests "were used to determine that exercise significantly altered the expression of 986 genes and 23 miRNAs....We found exercise-related gene pathways were predominantly associated with cancer and cell communication, including p53 signaling pathway, MELANOMA, Glioma, Prostate cancer, Adherens junction and Focal adhesion."

Ok...so that's a little rich for my blood...have to admit...no idea about Adherens junction and Focal adhesion...but....what the heck.  B can't yell at me for my INSANITY with Shaun T after my treatments.  I got some proof it's doing me good!!  So, COME ON Y'ALL!!!!!!

It may be a House of Pain... But... Jump around! So get out your seats and jump around! Jump around! Jump up, jump up and get down!!!!!  Make those Natural Killer cells even better in 2013!!!!!

OMG!!!!  My scientific editor in chief...the Big B, MD...is very woebegone!  Saying, "You didn't say anywhere in there that I SENT you that article!!!"  So....Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!!!  The Big B sent me this article.  And now...he's gonna... Jump around! Jump up, jump up and get down!!  Jump! Jump! Jump!

Love you, B!!!! - c
