Aims Inflammation plays an essential role in the atherosclerotic process, and chemokines
such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) seem to play a …

Physical activity can prevent and/or attenuate atherosclerosis, a disease clearly linked to
inflammation. Paradoxically, even brief exercise induces a stress response and increases …

Mediators of monocyte migration, complement receptor‐3 (CR3), and chemokine ligand‐4
(CCL4) were measured in response to recovery modalities following resistance exercise …

Inflammatory pathways are involved in destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. We
assessed the hypothesis that endurance training decreases circulating concentrations of …

OBJECTIVE: Pharmacological activation of the nuclear receptor PPARγ is linked to
numerous beneficial effects in the contexts of inflammation, lipid homeostasis, Type-2 …

The purpose of this study was to compare the peripheral expression of natural killers and
CCR 5 in a session of low‐intensity strength training with vascular occlusion and in high …

ABSTRACT BARRY, JC, S. SIMTCHOUK, C. DURRER, ME JUNG, and JP LITTLE. Short-
Term Exercise Training Alters Leukocyte Chemokine Receptors in Obese Adults. Med. Sci …

Purpose Monocytes may be primed towards differentiation into classically activated M1
macrophages or alternatively activated M2 macrophages. M1 macrophages greatly …

Exercise training or higher levels of physical activity are known to exert anti-inflammatory
effects. CD14+ CD16+ monocytes are potent producers of inflammatory proteins, and …

Key points Chronic inflammation underlies many of the health decrements associated with
obesity. Circulating progenitor cells can sense and respond to inflammatory stimuli …
