Effects of acute exercise on inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers in women: a randomized controlled trial
摘要
Mechanisms linking exercise to reduced breast cancer risk are poorly understood. 103 healthy women, 18–75, were randomized to 45-minutes of acute exercise at 60% VO2max (N = 54, intervention), or 45-minutes of rest (N = 49, control). Blood samples were collected at baseline, 45- and 105-minutes, analytes measured by immunoassay, and mean changes from baseline to 45- and 105-minutes modelled using generalized estimating equations, adjusted for confounders. Mean percent changes levels (Δ%) increased in exercisers vs. controls for monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 Δ45 min + 17.1% (P < 0.0001), Δ105 min + 12.0% (P = 0.005); interleukin(IL)-6, Δ45 min + 103.5%, Δ105 min + 92.3%; and at 45-minutes for glucose Δ45 min + 8.8%; insulin Δ45 min + 82.4% (all P < 0.0001). Differences between arms for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Δ45 min + 9.8%; c-reactive protein Δ45 min-6.6%; irisin Δ45 min-5.1%; or plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1, Δ45 min-3.6% were non-statistically significant, with similar results at 105-minutes. Results suggest that acute exercise has specific effects on circulating metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers, implicated in breast cancer etiology, which differ from weight-loss-induced changes.
