Exercise training for intermittent claudication: Does it adversely affect biochemical markers of the exercise-induced inflammatory response?
Open accessAbstract
Objectives To identify a stable biochemical marker of disease severity in patients with intermittent claudication and to use these findings to assess the effect of therapeutic exercise training.Design Case-control study: prospective randomised-controlled trial of exercise training.Materials and methods Plasma fibrinogen, serum amyloid A protein (SAA), C-reactive protein (CRP) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) were measured in 67 claudicants and 15 controls. Twenty-two patients were randomised to supervised exercise training and 17 randomised to observation. Subjects were reviewed at 3, 6 and 12 months.Results The median (interquartile range) baseline fibrinogen was 3.7 g/l (3.3-4.25) in claudicants and 3.5 g/l (2.9-3.95) in controls (p = 0.045); CRP was 4.7 mg/l (2.2-9.0) and 2.1 mg/l (1.0-2.8), respectively (p < 0.0001); SAA was 72 mg/l (35-132) and 30 mg/l (20-89) (p = 0.0009). Claudicants showed an increased urinary ACR following treadmill exercise (Wilcoxon, p < 0.0001) with no change in controls. Exercise training reduced SAA at 6 months, CRP at 3 months and progressively attenuated the post-exercise increase in ACR. No similar changes were found in controls.Conclusions Repetitive low-grade inflammatory events in claudicants lead to elevation of serum acute-phase proteins. Exercise training is associated with symptomatic improvement and reduction inflammatory markers. The concern that exercise has adverse systemic effects therefore seems to be unjustified.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
