Effect of bed rest on the mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory and anabolic cytokines. Data represent SOCS3 (A), IL-10 (B), and IL-15 mRNA expression (C) before (light gray bars) and after (dark gray bars) 7 days of bed rest in vastus lateralis skeletal muscle of healthy older adults (n = 6). Line plots below figures represent individual means for males (M1–5) and female (F1). Values are reported as fold change from baseline. P values are indicated on figures. Values are presented as means ± SE.
