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…

The anti-inflammatory effect of exercise: its role in diabetes and cardiovascular disease control.

TLDR
IL-6 was introduced as the first myokine, defined as a cytokine, that is produced and released by contracting skeletal muscle fibres, exerting its effects in other organs of the body, which may be involved in mediating the beneficial health effects against chronic diseases associated with low-grade inflammation such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

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.

Targeting Inflammation Through a Physical Active Lifestyle and Pharmaceuticals for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

TLDR
While waiting for the outcome of long-term clinical pharmacological trials, it should be emphasized that physical activity represents a natural strong anti-inflammatory intervention with little or no side effects.

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.

Exercise-induced changes in inflammatory processes: Implications for thrombogenesis in cardiovascular disease

TLDR
An overview of the impact of different modes and intensities of physical activity on vascular inflammation and thrombogenesis is provided.

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.

Evidence for anti-inflammatory effects of exercise in CKD.

TLDR
Findings provide compelling evidence that walking exercise is safe with regard to immune and inflammatory responses and has the potential to be an effective anti-inflammatory therapy in predialysis CKD.

The Anti-Inflammatory Actions of Exercise Training.

TLDR
The potential anti-inflammatory influences of exercise training may provide a low-cost, readily available, and effective treatment for low-grade systemic inflammation and could contribute significantly to the positive effects of exerciseTraining on chronic disease.

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.

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.

Circulating cytokines and hormones with immunosuppressive but neutrophil-priming potentials rise after endurance exercise in humans

TLDR
Results suggested that exercise-induced pathogenesis including previously reported immunosuppression and neutrophil hyper-reactivity might be attributed, at least partly, to the systemic dynamics of the above bioactive substances.

Exercise elevates plasma levels but not gene expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha in blood mononuclear cells.

Physical activity induces a subclinical inflammatory response, mediated in part by leukocytes, and manifested by elevated concentrations of circulating proinflammatory cytokines, including…

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.

Exercise and IL‐6 infusion inhibit endotoxin‐induced TNF‐α production in humans

TLDR
Physical exercise and rhIL‐6 infusion at physiological concentrations inhibit endotoxin‐induced TNF‐α production in humans and suggest that the mechanism include IL‐6, which is produced by and released from exercising muscles.
