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 6

Effect of exercise on IL-2 production. Exercise increased the production of IL-2 in both PHA⁻ and PHA⁺ cultures. Preexercise values are represented by the white columns and postexercise values by the black columns. PHA⁻ culture values are listed on the left Y axis and PHA⁺ culture values on the right Y axis. Results are given as the mean ± SEM. indicates a p value of <.05. PHA: phytohemagglutinin.
