Acute cold stress induces adherent cells with suppressor function, resulting in immunosuppression.Glucocorticoids (GC) are known as an inhibitor of the immune system and are increased by stress through stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.To elucidate the mechanisms underlying acute cold stress-induced immunosuppression, functions and surface phenotypes of murine peritoneal cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage from acute coldstressed mice (5 C for 3 or 24 h) in addition to the role of GC in the immunomodulation were investigated.Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the proportion
