Physical activity
induces a subclinical inflammatory response, mediated in part by
leukocytes, and manifested by elevated concentrations of circulating
proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1
, IL-6, and
tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-
). 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-1
, IL-6, and TNF-
peaked at the end of
exercise and remained elevated at 2 h (IL-6) and up to 24 h
(IL-1
and TNF-
) 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-1
,
IL-6, and TNF-
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.
