The concept of a “polypill” is receiving growing attention to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Yet similar if not overall higher benefits are achievable with regular exercise, a drug-free …

Skeletal muscle has recently been identified as an endocrine organ. It has, therefore, been
suggested that cytokines and other peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by …

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body. Skeletal muscles are primarily
characterized by their mechanical activity required for posture, movement, and breathing …

Modified muscle use or injury can produce a stereotypic inflammatory response in which
neutrophils rapidly invade, followed by macrophages. This inflammatory response coincides …

It is now recognized that contracting skeletal muscle may synthesize and release interleukin-
6 (IL-6) into the interstitium as well as into the systemic circulation in response to a bout of …

It has been documented that strenuous exercise not only induces pyrogenesis but also
elicits mobilization and functional augmentation of neutrophils and monocytes whereas it …

Eccentric exercise commonly results in muscle damage. The primary sequence of events
leading to exercise-induced muscle damage is believed to involve initial mechanical …

Resistance training (RT) is associated with reduced risk of low grade inflammation related
diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The majority of the data …

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is quite a common consequence of unaccustomed
strenuous exercise, especially exercise containing eccentric contraction (lengthening …

Exercise induces increased circulating levels of a number of cytokines. Thus, increased
plasma levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha interleukin (IL-1) beta, IL-1receptor …
