Persistent low-grade inflammation and regular exercise.

Persistent low-grade systemic inflammation is a feature of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes and dementia and evidence exists that inflammation is a causal factor in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Regular exercise offers protection against all of these diseases and recent evidence suggests that the protective effect of exercise ma...

Chronic Low-grade Inflammation after Exercise: Controversies

In a recent published paper in IJBMS, Kazeem A, et al evaluated the changes of acute phase proteins after moderate and prolonged exercise (1). They found that prolonged exercise increased plasma C-reactive protein (CRP); however, moderate exercise did not change plasma CRP level. They concluded that moderate exercise, and not prolonged exercise, should be encouraged. Chronic low-grade inflammat...

Stress Induces Endotoxemia and Low-Grade Inflammation by Increasing Barrier Permeability

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of work absence, disability, and mortality worldwide. Most of these diseases are associated with low-grade inflammation. Here, we hypothesize that stresses (defined as homeostatic disturbances) can induce low-grade inflammation by increasing the availability of water, sodium, and energy-rich substances to meet the increased metabol...
