Table 1.
Anthropometric, demographic and clinical data.
Figure 1.
Effect of an acute session of moderate exercise (+E) on the serum concentration of IL-8 in healthy women (HW; n = 8) and in FM patients (FM; n = 8).
The results are presented as the mean value ± SEM of a set of independent experiments performed in duplicate (one experiment per volunteer). ***p<0.001 with respect to HW;++p<0.01 with respect to each respective pre-exercise values.
Figure 2.
Effect of an acute session of moderate exercise (+E) on the plasma concentration of cortisol in healthy women (HW; n = 8) and in FM patients (FM; n = 8).
The results are presented as the mean value ± SEM of a set of independent experiments performed in duplicate (one experiment per volunteer). *p<0.05 with respect to HW;+p<0.05 with respect to each respective pre-exercise values.
Figure 3.
Effect of an acute session of moderate exercise (+E) on the plasma concentration of NA in healthy women (HW; n = 8) and in FM patients (FM; n = 8).
The results are presented as the mean value ± SEM of a set of independent experiments performed in duplicate (one experiment per volunteer). *p<0.05 and xp<0.05 with respect to HW (ANOVA);+p<0.05 with respect to each respective pre-exercise values.
Figure 4.
Effect of an acute session of moderate exercise (+E) on the plasma concentration of eHsp72 in healthy women (HW; n = 8) and in FM patients (FM; n = 8).
The results are presented as the mean value ± SEM of a set of independent experiments performed in duplicate (one experiment per volunteer). *p<0.05 with respect to HW;+p<0.05 with respect to each respective pre-exercise values.
Figure 5.
Effect of an acute session of moderate exercise (+E) on the release of cytokines by monocytes.
IL-1β (A), TNF-α (B), IL-6 (C), IL-10 (D) and IL-18 (D) released by monocytes activated by LPS from healthy women (HW; n = 8) and FM patients (FM; n = 8). The results are presented as the mean value ± SEM of a set of independent experiments performed in duplicate (one experiment per volunteer). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 with respect to HW;+p<0.05,++p<0.01 with respect to each respective pre-exercise values.
Figure 6.
Effect of an acute session of moderate exercise (+E) on chemotaxis (A) and O2− production (B) by neutrophils from healthy women (HW; n = 8) and FM patients (FM; n = 8).
The results are presented as the mean value ± SEM of a set of independent experiments performed in duplicate (one experiment per volunteer). ***p<0.01 with respect to HW;+p<0.05,+++p<0.001 with respect to each respective pre-exercise values.
