The Effect of Long-Term Exercise on the Production of Osteoclastogenic and Antiosteoclastogenic Cytokines by Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and on Serum Markers of Bone Metabolism

Figure 3

Exercise modality and cytokine production. Osteoclastogenic cytokine levels fell in proportion to the time subjects spent in each training session doing aerobic exercises (Pearson correlation test with regression analysis). Data points for cytokines are the sum of IL-1α, TNF-α, and IFN-γ values.
