The Relationship Between Inflammation, Dyslipidemia and Physical Exercise: From the Epidemiological to Molecular Approach

Impact of physical exercise/activity on vascular structure and inflammation in pediatric populations: A literature review

“…The inflammatory process is an important component of the immune process (Lira, Rosa Neto, et al, 2014). In low-grade inflammation, there is a constant high concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines, simultaneously with a reduction in anti-inflammatory cytokines (Ohashi, Shibata, Murohara, & Ouchi, 2014).…”

“…In recent decades, great attention has been paid to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, while growing scientific literature has pointed out that cardiovascular and metabolic diseases that develop in adulthood have their origins in early life (Fernandes, Spiguel, Cayres, Codogno, & Lira, ; Lira, Rosa Neto, Antunes, & Fernandes, ). Therefore, behavioral variables in pediatric populations have been widely investigated, mainly because unhealthy behaviors track from early life to adulthood (Healy, Matthews, Dunstan, Winkler, & Owen, ; Juonala, Magnussen, et al., ; Pereira, Ki, & Power, ) and a large variety of cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes have been linked to the adoption of unhealthy behaviors.…”

Effect of Regular Physical Activity on Metabolic Control in Pediatric Age Group with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

“…Recent studies have reported a protective effect on adulthood, which is offered by early sport practice and is maintained even when considered the physical activity performed at adulthood [24][25][26].…”

Physical activity and health: Shifting focus from modern era to Stone Age life style

“…During obesity, increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (adipokines) from adipocytes (fat cells) [20] is accompanied by insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Mild to chronic exercise have shown to ameliorate both dyslipidemia and systemic inflammation [21]. Physical exercise might benefit obese partly through increased secretion of anti-inflammatory adipokines and decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines [22].…”
