PG - 1041-1048 LID - 10.1055/a-0723-4421 [doi] AB - This investigation examined the effects of acute rowing exercise on a panel of 12 different inflammatory cytokines. Fifteen female rowers (18.3+/-1.6 yrs; 172.0+/-5.0 cm; 67.5+/-8.8 kg; maximal oxygen consumption [VO(2)max]: 47.2+/-7.9 ml.min.(-1)kg(-1)) completed a 1-h endurance exercise (distance: 12.1+/-1.1 km; energy expenditure [EE]: 639+/-69 kcal; heart rate: 151+/-7 beats.min(-1); intensity: 79.6+/-3.5% of the second ventilatory turn point). Venous blood samples were analysed for interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) concentrations. Rowing exercise resulted increment (P<0.05) in IL-6, IL-8, VEGF and MCP-1. Exercise metabolic demand variables such as rating of perceived exertion (r=0.61), distance covered (r=0.60) and EE (r=0.57) were related (P<0.05) to changes in VEGF concentration. Cardiorespiratory fitness as measured by VO(2)max was correlated with changes in IL-6 (r=-0.55; P<0.05) level. In conclusion, acute exercise-induced inflammatory reaction was induced by a significant increase in IL-6, IL-8, VEGF and MCP-1 concentrations. Variance in exercise-induced increases in inflammatory cytokines in response to prolonged endurance exercise was characterised by exercise metabolic demand and cardiorespiratory fitness measures in female rowers.
