Regular exercise offers protection against all-cause mortality, primarily by protection against cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The latter disorders have been associated with chronic low-grade systemic inflammation reflected by a two- to threefold elevated level of several cytokines. Adipose tissue contributes to the production of TNF-alpha, which is reflected by elevated levels of soluble TNF-alpha receptors, IL-6, IL-1 receptor antagonist, and C-reactive protein. We…

TLDR
This review focuses on the anti-inflammatory effects of Exercise and how this may contribute to mediate the beneficial health effects of exercise training in patients with chronic diseases associated with chronic low-grade inflammation.
The effects of chronic exercise on the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α are different with age.

TLDR
It is suggested that chronic endurance exercise could influence the inflammatory response of hepatic tissues, as well as muscle, and that the effects of chronic endurance Exercise on inflammatory cytokine levels are different between old and young rats and an exercise program tailored for old subjects will be needed to obtain beneficial anti-inflammatory effects from exercise.
The major inflammatory mediator interleukin-6 and obesity
TLDR
This paper reviews the studies describing elevatedIL-6 levels in obese patients and the role of adipocytes and adipose-tissue macrophages in the production of IL-6 and the effect on metabolism through several mechanisms, including adipose tissue-specific gene expression, triglyceride release, lipoprotein lipase downregulation, insulin sensitivity, and so on.
Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Exercise Mediated by Toll-Like Receptor Regulation in Innate Immune Cells – A Review
TLDR
The aim of the present study is to review the current evidence about the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise and toll-like receptors regulation on immune cells in humans to contribute to the protective effect of exercise against insulin resistance and the prevention of the development of metabolic diseases.
Effects of physical exercise on inflammatory markers of atherosclerosis.
TLDR
Analysis of available researches seem to confirm the efficacy of regular physical training as a nonpharmacological therapy having target chronic low-grade inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory Effects of Exercise
TLDR
The anti-inflammatory effects of regular exercise may be mediated via a reduction in visceral fat mass (with a subsequent decreased release of adipokines) and the induction of an anti- inflammatory environment with each bout of exercise.
Is the anti-inflammatory effect of regular exercise responsible for reduced cardiovascular disease?
TLDR
This review explores the relationship between systemic and vascular wall inflammation and the role that the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise have on the development and progression of CVD.
Inflammatory cytokines and metabolic risk factors during growth and maturation: influence of physical activity.
TLDR
The available evidence indicates that chronic inflammatory states such as obesity in childhood are associated with a pro-inflammatory profile and the presence of increased risk factors for disease while physical activity or exercise training elicit a protective role relative to this profile.
The role of interleukin-6 in glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism
TLDR
A brief overview of the pro- and anti-inflammatory aspects of IL-6 is given and an update on its role in metabolic regulation is provided, with a specific focus on glucose homeostasis and adipose tissue metabolism.
Effects of resistance training on the inflammatory response
TLDR
The overall effect of long term RT appears to ameliorate inflammation, but the specific effects on the inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha are not clear, requiring further research.

Role of Cytokines in Inducing Hyperlipidemia
TLDR
It can be postulated that lipoproteins are part of a nonspecific immune response stimulated by cytokines, the hormones of the immune systems, that can decrease the toxicity of harmful biological and chemical agents.
Circulating tumor necrosis factor alpha concentrations are higher in abdominal versus peripheral obesity.
Differential effects of interleukin-6 and -10 on skeletal muscle and liver insulin action in vivo.
TLDR
This is the first study to demonstrate that inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 alter hepatic and skeletal muscle insulin action in vivo, and the mechanism may involve cytokine-induced alteration in intracellular fat contents.
Influence of anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
TNF neutralisation with monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies increased HDL-cholesterol levels and decreased CRP and IL6 levels after 2 weeks, suggesting this treatment may improve the cardiovascular risk profile of patients with RA.
Exercise elevates plasma levels but not gene expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha in blood mononuclear cells.

The cytokine response to strenuous exercise.
TLDR
The time course of cytokine production, the close association with muscle damage, and the finding of mRNA-IL-6 in skeletal muscle biopsies after intense exercise all support the idea that during eccentric exercise myofibers are mechanically damaged and that this process stimulates the local production of inflammatory cytokines.
Exhaustive exercise and type-1/type-2 cytokine balance with special focus on interleukin-12 p40/p70.
TLDR
IL-12 p40 was present in excess of p70 especially after exercise, which may be one of the mechanisms behind several phenomena including cellular immunosuppression, an increase in the relative proportion of type-2 cytokines following exhaustive exercise, and the higher incidence of infections and allergic disorders in regularly exercising endurance athletes.

TLDR
IL-6 plays an important role in regulating fat metabolism in muscle, increasing rates of FA oxidation, and attenuating insulin's lipogenic effects, which may be involved in the development of TNF-alpha-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.
Protection from obesity-induced insulin resistance in mice lacking TNF-alpha function.
TLDR
Results indicate that TNF-alpha is an important mediator of insulin resistance in obesity through its effects on several important sites of insulin action.
