PG - 87-99 LID - 10.1152/japplphysiol.00495.2019 [doi] AB - Age-associated chronic basal inflammation compromises muscle mass and adaptability, but exercise training may exert an anti-inflammatory effect. This investigation assessed basal and exercise-induced inflammation in three cohorts of men: young exercisers [YE; n = 10 men; 25 +/- 1 yr; maximal oxygen consumption (V̇o(2max)), 53 +/- 3 mL.kg(-1).min(-1); quadriceps area, 78 +/- 3 cm(2); means +/- SE], old healthy nonexercisers (OH; n = 10; 75 +/- 1 yr; V̇o(2max), 22 +/- 1 mL.kg(-1).min(-1); quadriceps area, 56 +/- 3 cm(2)), and lifelong exercisers with an aerobic training history of 53 +/- 1 yr (LLE; n = 21; 74 +/- 1 yr; V̇o(2max), 34 +/- 1 mL.kg(-1).min(-1); quadriceps area, 67 +/- 2 cm(2)). Resting serum IL-6, TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein, and IGF-1 levels were measured. Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were obtained at rest (basal) and 4 h after an acute exercise challenge (3 x 10 repetitions, 70% 1-repetition maximum) to assess gene expression of cytokines [IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-10, IL-4, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)], chemokines [IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)], cyclooxygenase enzymes [cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2, respectively), prostaglandin E(2) synthases [microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 (mPGES-1) and cytosolic prostaglandin E(2) synthase (cPGES)] and receptors [prostaglandin E(2) receptor EP3 and EP4 subtypes (EP3 and EP4, respectively), and macrophage markers [cluster of differentiation 16b (CD16b) and CD163], as well as basal macrophage abundance (CD68(+) cells). Aging led to higher (P
