Physical activity induces a subclinical inflammatory response, mediated in part by leukocytes, and manifested by elevated concentrations of circulating proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1beta , IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ). However, the source of the cytokines that appear during exercise remains unknown. In this study, we examined exercise-induced changes in plasma cytokine concentrations and their corresponding mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Ten healthy [peak oxygen uptake = 48.8 ± 6.5 (SD) ml · kg-1 · min-1] but untrained men [age = 25 ± 5 (SD) yr] undertook 3 h of exercise (cycling and inclined walking) at 60-65% peak oxygen uptake. Circulating leukocyte subset counts were elevated during and 2 h postexercise but returned to normal within 24 h. Plasma concentrations of IL-1beta , IL-6, and TNF-alpha peaked at the end of exercise and remained elevated at 2 h (IL-6) and up to 24 h (IL-1beta and TNF-alpha ) postexercise. Cytokine gene expression in circulating mononuclear cells was measured by using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction; mRNA accumulation did not change with exercise. In conclusion, mRNA accumulation of IL-1beta , IL-6, and TNF-alpha in circulating mononuclear cells is not affected by 3 h of moderate endurance exercise and does not seem to account for the observed increases in plasma cytokines.
