Exercise as an Immune Adjuvant for Allogeneic Cell Therapies

After an initial maximal graded exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake and peak cycling power, healthy participants will undergo a 20-minute graded exercise test at intensities corresponding to 50, 60, 70 and 80% VO2max (5-minutes per stage)

To determine if pharmacological activation of beta-adrenergic receptors evokes an immune respponse akin to exercise, healthy participants will receive an intravenous infusion of isoproterenol (50ng/kg/min)

Healthy participants will consume the placebo 2-3h prior to completing a 20-minute graded exercise test at intensities ranging from 50-80-% of the maximal oxygen uptake

Healthy participants will consume a 10mg Bisoprolol Fumerate tablet 2-3h prior to completing a 20-minute graded exercise test at intensities ranging from 50-80-% of the maximal oxygen uptake

Healthy participants will consume a 80mg Nadolol tablet 2-3h prior to completing a 20-minute graded exercise test at intensities ranging from 50-80-% of the maximal oxygen uptake

Healthy participants will consume a 50mg Carvedilol tablet 2-3h prior to completing a 20-minute graded exercise test at intensities ranging from 50-80-% of the maximal oxygen uptake

Healthy participants will consume a 500mcg Roflumilast tablet and a 10mg Bisoprolol tablet 2-3h prior to completing a 20-minute graded exercise test at intensities ranging from 50-80-% of the maximal oxygen uptake
