Role of Exercise in Vascular Function and Inflammatory Profile in Age-Related Obesity

Table 2

Pearson’s correlation between vascular function and inflammatory profile in normal weight and overweight and obese groups.

	CRP	IL-10	IL-1ra	IL-1B	IL-6	IL-8	MCP-1	TNF-α
Normal weight
FMD%	0.216	0.372	0.608	0.225	0.974	0.397	0.980	0.402
Shear rate	0.252	0.820	0.867	0.178	0.295	0.458	0.962	0.534
FMD/shear rate	0.679	0.748	0.492	0.651	0.325	0.748	0.385	0.620
Overweight & obese
FMD%	0.237	0.800	0.430	0.383	0.248	0.177	0.121	0.709
Shear rate	0.469	0.718	0.640	0.300	0.666	0.799	0.438	0.297
FMD/shear rate	0.670	0.729	0.755	0.616	0.540	0.464	0.582	0.722

Note: CRP, C-reactive protein (ng/mL); IL, interleukin (ng/mL); MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (ng/mL); TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α (ng/mL). No statistical correlation between variables in both groups were found.
