These findings suggest that prior voluntary exercise suppresses the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the colon in response to inflammatory challenge by up-regulating glucocorticoid-mediated PPAR-γ activity, contributing to protection against the development of ulcerative colitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
