C The relati on ship betwee n exercise and cancer has long puzzled exercise physiologists. Exercise is associated with lowered risks for many types of cancer. People wh

51、o exercise prove to be less likely to develop or die from the disease tha n people who do not. At the same time, exercise involves biological stress, which typically leads to a short-term in crease in in flammatio n（ 炎症）throughout the body. In flammati on can con tribute to high risks for many cance

52、rs. Now, a new study in mice may offer some clues into the exercise-ca ncer paradox. _ It suggests that exercise may change how the immunesystem deals with cancer by raising adre nali ne, certa in immune cells and other chemicals that, together, can reduce the severity of cancer or fight it off alto

53、gether. - 8 - To try to un dersta nd how exercise can both in crease in flammati on and protect the body aga inst cancer, scie ntists in Denmark decided to exam ine what happe ns in side mice at high risk for the disease. So they began by gathering a group of adult lab mice. These ani mals gen erall

54、y like to run. The scie ntists the n put skin cancer cells into the mice before providi ng half of them with running wheels in their cages while the other animals remained sedentary（久坐的）. After four weeks, far fewer of the runners had developed melanoma（黑色素瘤）than the sedentary mice and those diagnos

55、ed with the disease showed fewer and smaller injuries. They also were less likely to develop metastases （ 癌 转移）. The scientists drew blood from both the exercising and sedentary animals and cells from any tumors in both groups. Then they looked at how the various samples were differe nt. They found

56、higher levels of in terleuk in-6 in the blood of the runn ers. This is a substa nee that can both in crease and decrease in flammati on in the body. They found much higher nu mbers in the bloodstreams of runners tha n in the sede ntary mice of a type of immune cell named natural killer cells that ar

57、e known to be effective can cer fighters. So the scientists repeated their original experiment multiple times, while allowing some mice to run and others to sit. But in the follow-up experiments, they injected the runners with a substa nee that blocked the product ion of adre nali ne （ 肾 上激素）and gav

58、e sedentary animals large doses of added adrenaline. Then they again Io oked at the animals blood .They found when running mice could not produce adrenaline, they developed cancer at the same rate as the sedentary, while the sede ntary injected with extra adre nali ne fought off their tumors better

59、tha n sitti ng mice. The scie ntists determ ined that adre nali ne seemed to be sending sig nals to some of the ani mals IL -6 cells, mak ing them more alert. Because the runners blood contained more adre nali ne, and more n atural killer cells tha n did the blood of the sedentary mice, this process

60、 was intensified. A larger number of natural killer cells were directed to tumors in the runn ers, allowi ng their immune systems, to more effectively beat the malig nancy （恶性肿瘤） But mice, obviously, are not people, and it is impossible to know from this study whether a similar process occurs in hum
