Ozone exposure induces neuroendocrine stress response, which causes lymphopenia. We hypothesized that ozone-induced increases in stress hormones will temporally follow changes in circulating granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocyte subpopulations. The goal of this study was to chronicle the changes in circulating stress hormones, cytokines, and leukocyte trafficking during 4-hour exposure to ozone. Male Wistar Kyoto rats were exposed to air or ozone (0.4 or 0.8 ppm) for 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 hours. After each time point, we assessed, circulating stress hormones and cytokines, lung gene expression, and live and apoptotic granulocytes, monocytes (classical and non-classical), and lymphocytes (B, Th and Tc) in blood, thymus and spleen using flow cytometry.
