Regular Voluntary Exercise Potentiates Interleukin-1β and Interleukin-18 Secretion by Increasing Caspase-1 Expression in Murine Macrophages

Figure 2

Effects of regular voluntary exercise (VE) on the mRNA levels of F4/80 and TLR4 in macrophages. Immediately after peritoneal-exudate macrophages were isolated from the sedentary control (SC) and VE mice, total cellular RNA were extracted. The mRNA levels of F4/80 (a) and TLR4 (b) were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The mRNA levels are presented as ratios relative to the levels of 18S rRNA. Mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM; ) values are provided.
