Table 3. Interstitial concentrations (Ci) of prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2 in the peritendinous space of the human Achilles tendon during rest and intermittent static exercise of m. triceps surae.
Rest | Exercise | Recovery | |
---|---|---|---|
PGE2(Ci(ng ml−1) | 0.6 ± 0.3 | 1.4 ± 0.6 | 1.3 ± 0.4 |
TXB2(Ci(ng ml−1) | 4.8 ± 1.3 | 8.1 ± 1.4* | 5.9 ± 2.5 |
Thromboxane B2 rose significantly
as a response to exercise (P < 0.05) and returned to resting level during the following recovery period (P > 0.05).
