Abstract:

Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), a pro-inflammatory cytokines, is produced by human adipose tissue and it relation with cigarette smoking are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate immediate response of serum TNF-α to moderate exercise test fourteen non-athletes adult smoker men aged 40-48 years. For this purpose, venous blood sample was collected prior to exercise and immediately following of 35 min running at 70% of heart rate max. Pre- and post exercise serum TNF-α were compared using a paired-samples t-test. Significance was accepted at P < 0.05. Compared to pre-exercise, serum TNF-α decreased significantly (p = 0.015) after exercise test when compared to pretest. These data support anti-inflammatory effect of moderate exercise in smokers.
