Figure 2.

The levels of serum TNF  in control sedentary rats (C), moderate trained (MT), overtrained (OT), recovered overtrained (OR), (for each group, n=6).

Statistical differences between control and other groups (immediately after last bout of exercise): **; P <0.01, ***; P <0.001.

Statistical differences between MT vs OT and OR groups (immediately after last bout of exercise): ⁺⁺; P <0.01, ⁺⁺⁺; P <0.001.

Statistical differences between MT vs OR group (24 hr after last bout of exercise): ^&; P <0.05; ^&&; P <0.01.

There were not statistical differences between different times in MT, OT and OR groups
