title: [Effects of endotoxin of gram-negative intestinal microflora on adaptation to physical exercise].
abstract: The study of plasm concentration of endotoxin (ET), activity of antiendotoxinic immunity (AEI) and early adaptation to exercise in 61 athletes and 13 students who were not athletes has revealed correlation between the former two and the latter parameters. ET was elevated in all the examinees prior to exercise. In exercise maladaptation both athletes and non-athletes demonstrated high ET levels in blood plasm and low AEI. It is suggested that ET may have a negative effect on exercise adaptation. Elevation of lipopolysaccharide concentration in systemic blood flow and depressed AEI may provoke acute maladaptation after exercise.
