Effect of physical training on cytokine expression in CD4+ T lymphocytes in subjects with stable COPD.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although evidence suggests that physical exercise reduces systemic inflammation, at the plasma level, there are still contradictions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this sense, analysis of intracellular cytokines could clear off the effect of physical exercise on the inflammatory profile of these subjects.

Aim

The aim was to evaluate the effect of physical training on cytokine expression in CD4+ T lymphocytes from subjects with COPD.

Methods

This is a randomized controlled trial. Subjects with stable COPD were grouped into two groups, exercise and control. In total, 23 subjects with stable COPD were evaluated, of which 15 underwent aerobic strength training [physical exercise group (PEG)] and 8 underwent breathing exercises [respirator
