This effect is pronounced in Antarctica expeditioners where they are exposed for long to the isolation, cold and UV radiation stress. Whether these stresses alter the immune system or not, was studied in expedition members at Maitri. Various parameters like Immunoglobulin, Lymphocyte counts, Cytokine and 1, 25-hydroxy Vitamin D-3 were estimated to assess the functional status of the immune cells. Data gathered indicate Antarctic isolation is associated with alterations in the immune system due immunity. These findings have important long-term health implications. The proposed study is undertaken to evaluate and understand the role of UV radiation in modulating the immune response directly or indirectly through vitamin D involvement and to whether the isolation and cold stress supplement this effect.
