Editor's Notes
- It is well-known that chronic levels of inflammation (both low and high levels) are present and contributing factors leading to the pathogenesis of many diseases. These disorders cover a broad spectrum and include cardiovascular disease (CVD), autoimmune disorders, neurological disorders, bone and musculoskeletal diseases, complications associated with metabolic disorders, and even cancer. Furthermore, many studies have shown the positive effects of exercise in the management and clinical outcome of many of these same diseases.
- Despite this strong correlation between inflammation and exercise, the exact explanation of how exercise is effecting these diseases still remains unclear. Additionally, an animal model to study the systemic effects of exercise over inflammation is currently lacking. Thus, we set out to explore the following hypothesis in this study: that exercise can regulate inflammation by systemic suppression and that this effect would eventually be lost over time.
- In conclusion, we suggest that moderate exercise could therefore be a very potent therapeutic intervention to be used to control the inflammation associated with a variety of different diseases, but is unfortunately a tremendously underutilized therapeutic modality in clinical practice today. Also, we have demonstrated that exercise is a robust and systemic biological response modifier that can subsequently serve to regulate inflammation. Lastly, we have shown that the effects of exercise in modulating these responses are completely lost after 36-48 hours, which suggests that the greatest benefits may be achieved with a daily exercise routine.
