Abstract:

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) as a pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by human adipose tissue is known to be associated with obesity and related diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of one exercise session on serum IL-6 levels in adult inactive men. For this purpose, fifteen inactive healthy men aged 39.4 ± 1.9 years and body mass index (BMI) 31.3 ± 1.4 kg/m2 were selected to participate in this study by accidentally. Anthropometrical markers were measured. All participants underwent an exercise test involved 40 min running with no slope. Venous blood samples (5ml) were collected from all individuals at pre, 0 and 60 min after exercise test. Blood samples were analyzed for IL-6 after serum separate. Comparisons of data between 3 blood samples were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA model. Significance was accepted at P < 0.05. No significant change was found in acute (p= 0.37) of recovery (p= 0.89) response of serum IL-6 to exercise test when compared with pre-test. Based on these data, we concluded that one moderate exercise does not inflammatory property in inactive adult obese men.
