Anaerobic exercise induces moderate acute phase response

Abstract

Two hours after cessation of exercise the neutrophils increased stronger after AN-TS than after SMT (P < 0.01). The peak in the number of premacrophages occurred earlier after SMT (15 min post; P < 0.01 to Co-Day) than after AN-TS (2 h post; P < 0.05 to Co-Day). IL-6 was elevated at 15 min and 2 h after AN-TS (P < 0.01 to SMT and Co-Day) but only slightly 2 h after SMT (P < 0.01 to Co-Day). There were no significant changes in IL-8. CRP was the only elevated parameter 24 h postexercise exclusively after AN-TS (P < 0.05 to Co-Day). CONCLUSIONS Repeated short anaerobic bouts of cycling lead to an acute phase response, which is more pronounced than after a single bout. Athletes should take care in performing such training sessions several times a week because signs of inflammation are detectable even 24 h after cessation of exercise.

Alterations in acute-phase reactants (CRP, rheumatoid factor, complement, Factor B, and immune complexes) following an ultramarathon

“…Conversely Meyer et al 18 showed a significant increase in CRP 24h following an anaerobic cycling session. It was suggested that athletes/physicians should interpret these elevated levels of CRP as a sign that the inflammatory response has not resolved and thus the athlete should reduce or limit the number of sessions that induce this response.…”

“…Whilst numerous studies have shown the APP C-reactive protein (CRP) to be significantly elevated following exercise, 18,21,26,27 there still remain a large number of acute phase reactants that have not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, the aims of this study were firstly to confirm the reported increases in CRP following a prolonged, strenuous bout of exercise, and secondly to monitor alterations in less researched acute phase reactants, up to 3 days after an ultramarathon.…”

Can Exercise Training With Weight Loss Lower Serum C-Reactive Protein Levels?

“…24,25 Likewise, some studies reported that acute strenuous exercise could raise CRP levels. 26, 27 Although we did not evaluate the relation between the extent of weight loss and the intensity of exercise training, the inflammatory stimuli derived from a strenuous exercise might be responsible for the results. The rather increased levels of serum uric acid in group D might possibly be caused by vigorous exercise training.…”

Associação da concentração plasmática de cobre com metaloproteínas cobre-dependentes em atletas de elite

“…During intense physical exercise there is release of reactive oxygen species (7) and stimulus to the inflammatory process through the release of cytokines (25) , which may result in increase of the cerulloplasmin concentration (26) , once both the cerulloplasmin synthesis and release in the serum are stimulated by the interleukins 1 and 6 (27) . Nevertheless, it is possible that the increase in cerulloplasmin in response to the interleukins in the physical exercise is also associated with its role as antioxidant (22,26) .…”

“…Nevertheless, it is possible that the increase in cerulloplasmin in response to the interleukins in the physical exercise is also associated with its role as antioxidant (22,26) . The cerulloplasmin concentration in the present study was sensitive to the serum copper concentration.…”
