The level of physical training modulates cytokine levels through P2X7 receptor in healthy subjects

Abstract

Endurance show higher P2X7R-Infl expression and function vs SED and ATH; however, maximal exercise determines prevailing pro-inflammatory vs anti-inflammatory responses in untrained and trained participants, respectively, highlighting a likely cause-effect relationship between degree of physical activity and P2X7R-Infl-mediated responses.
