Reduced secretion of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β from cultured whole blood ex vivo after yoga training. Whole blood was collected at baseline and after yoga; then blood was diluted and cultured at 24-well plates under identical culture conditions. Supernatants were centrifuged and collected at 24 hr for the measurement of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β secretion via ELISA. There is significant reduction of IL-6 (a), TNF-α (b), and IL-1β (c) secretion after yoga compared to preyoga condition. Data are presented as mean + SEM (N = 15). ∗ p < 0.05 versus preyoga training condition within the same treatment; # p < 0.05 versus control group at baseline level.
