Vitamin treatment blunted the exercise-induced increase in mRNA expression of genes encoding for inflammatory mediators in the trained state. Data (mean ± SD) are expressed as the ratio of mRNA expression 1 h after to that before the first (Untrained) and last (Trained) SIT sessions. Genes showing large exercise-induced effects (a) and more moderate effects (b). Vitamin group (black bars, n = 9); placebo group (white bars, n = 7); dashed lines indicate no difference between before and after exercise (i.e., relative mRNA expression = 1). Data from each participant are shown as grey circles. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed a general group difference (p < 0.001) in the trained state both in (a) and (b). Difference between vitamin and placebo groups in relative mRNA expression of individual genes: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
