Description: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has been demonstrated as a vital biomarker for chronic inflammatory diseases. Decreased plasma PTX3 has been observed in obese populations. However, no studies have examined the impact of obesity on PTX3 reactivity to exercise. Therefore, our study sought to investigate PTX3 plasma response to maximal exercise in obese and normal-weight subjects, and its relationship with… more

Description: The secular issue of obesity has been linked to increased inflammatory mediators, such as calprotectin (S100A8/A9). This study examined the effect of acute aerobic exercise on plasma calprotectin response in obese and normal-weight subjects and its relationship with inflammatory cytokine (IL-6). All subjects (11 obese and 10 normal-weight) performed 30 minutes of treadmill exercise at 75% maximal… more
