Wheel-Running Exercise Protects Ovariectomized Mice from Bone Loss via IFN-γ-Mediated Suppression of the NF-κB and MAPK Pathways

Figure 4

WR exercise increased the proportion of CD8+ T cells and the expression of IFN-γ in the OVX mice. (a) The percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleen and bone marrow ( samples for each group). (b and c) Representative FCA images and quantitative analyses of the expression of IFN-γ+ and CD8+ IFN-γ+ cells in the spleen ( samples for each group). (d) The serum level of IFN-γ ( samples for each group). S: sham-operated mice; S + WR: sham-operated mice treated with WR exercise; OVX: ovariectomy mice; OVX + WR: OVX mice treated with WR exercise ().
