Serum concentrations of adipokines, cytokines and CRP in the basal state before and after short-term 14-day bed rest (BR14) in young (dashed black lines) and older adult (solid black lines) subjects. Before BR: young (N = 7) and older adults (N = 16). After BR: young (N = 7) and older adults (N = 16). a Adiponectin. b IL-6. c TNF-α. d Resistin. e Visfatin. f CRP. a basal state before BR14 in young and older adults, b basal state after BR14 in young and older adults, c basal state before vs. after in young, d basal state before vs. after BR14 in older adults. Data were log-transformed before statistical test for TNF-α and IL-6. Mean data are shown with the SD. Baseline characteristics of the subjects by groups were compared by independent t tests. To identify possible differences on the variables (adiponectin, IL-6, resistin, visfatin and TNF-α) due to the effect of 14 day BR, two-way analysis of variance for repeated measurements (two-way repeated measures ANOVA) was performed. Covariates were BMI and age. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
