Physical exercise decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases anti-inflammatory cytokines in the lungs of OVA-sensitized animals. The mean values (±SE) obtained in the pulmonary homogenate of (A) IL-4 (*p < 0.001 and 0.023, respectively when compared EX or OVA to the SAL group and #p = 0.035 compared to the OVA group), (B) IL-6 (*p = 0.008 compared to the SAL group and #p = 0.035 compared to the OVA group), (C) TGF-β and (D) IL-10 (*p = 0.001 compared to the SAL group and #p = 0.035 compared to the OVA group). N = 10 per group.
