Endurance Exercise Mobilizes Developmentally Early Stem Cells into Peripheral Blood and Increases Their Number in Bone Marrow: Implications for Tissue Regeneration

Figure 1

Effect of short (45 min) exercise on a rotating wheel on stem cell mobilization in mice. (a, b) The number of VSELs (a) and HSPCs (b) circulating in PB after 45 min of exercise on a rotating wheel (effort) compared with nonexercising mice (control). (c) Activation of the complement cascade in PB after 45 min of exercise on a rotating wheel (effort) compared with nonexercising mice (control) measured by C5b-C9 (MAC) ELISA. (d) The increase in the number of clonogenic progenitors circulating in PB after 45 min of exercise on rotating wheels (effort) compared with nonexercising mice (control) ( mice/group).
