Table 2.

Effect of exercise training on the cytokine secreted by LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages. SED = sedentary rats, T = trained rats, TE = T rats with an additional exhaustion test, and TE24 = TE rats 24 h after the final exhaustion test. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6–8). Values not sharing letters denote significant differences (p < 0.05) (Mann–Whitney U test).
