Abstract

1. This study was performed to test the hypothesis that the exercise‐induced increase in circulating cytokine levels is associated with muscle damage. Nine healthy young male subjects performed two high‐intensity bicycle exercise trials separated by two weeks. The first trial consisted of 30 min of normal bicycle exercise (concentric exercise), whereas the second consisted of 30 min of braking with reversed revolution (eccentric exercise). The work loads were chosen to give the same increases in heart rate and catecholamine levels in the blood during each trial. 2. Significant increases (P < 0.05) in plasma concentration of creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were observed only after the eccentric exercise. Furthermore, the level of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) in serum increased significantly after the eccentric exercise and was significantly correlated to CK concentration in the following days, whereas no significant changes were found after the concentric exercise. 3. The total concentration of lymphocytes increased significantly (P < 0.05) as a result of eccentric compared with concentric exercise. This was mainly due to a significantly more pronounced recruitment of natural killer (NK) cells and CD8 positive cells (CD8+ cells) during the eccentric trial. However, no significant differences between the two types of work were found in regard to the circulating concentration of monocytes. The concentration of neutrophils was only significantly increased 2 h after the concentric exercise. 4. The finding that high‐intensity eccentric exercise caused a more pronounced increase in the plasma level of IL‐6, compared with concentric exercise, supports the hypothesis that the post‐exercise cytokine production is related to skeletal muscle damage. The fact that no differences between eccentric and concentric exercise were found in the recruitment of most blood mononuclear cell subsets to the blood supports the hypothesis that the exercise‐induced increase in plasma catecholamines is a major determinant of the mobilization of these cells into the blood. However, as eccentric exercise caused a more pronounced increase in the concentration of NK cells and CD8+ cells, factors involved in muscle damage may also contribute to the recruitment of these cells.

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.
