Bar chart showing those pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines and chemokines that are altered after resonant 8 Hz WBV compared with vibration at 15 Hz (p < 0.05) (shown as fold change over sham levels). Although 10 cytokines and six chemokines are upregulated (p < 0.05), CXCL7 is lower (p < 0.01) after 8-Hz WBV related to 15-Hz WBV. sICAM-1 = soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor alpha; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor; TIMP-1 = tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases metallopeptidase inhibitor-1; MIP = macrophage inflammatory protein; IP-10 = interferon gamma-induced protein 10; LIX = lipopolysaccharide-inducible CXC chemokines; MIG = monokine induced by interferon-gamma.
