Exercise resulted in a 21 +/- 4-fold increase in IL-6 mRNA expression (P < 0.01).
Moderately trained individuals experience a significant increase in IL-6 mRNA with exercise.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Irrespective of exercise mode or CHO ingestion, exercise resulted in a 21 +/- 4-fold increase (P < 0.01; main exercise effect) in IL-6 mRNA expression.
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving controlled trials.
