Exercise Sparks Immune Response That Fights Inflammation, Harvard Study Finds
A recent study by Harvard Medical School published in Science Immunology provides valuable insights into the connection between exercise and inflammation. The study, conducted on mice, suggests that exercise may activate Tregs, immune cells that counter inflammation, as a response to muscle inflammation. This mobilization of Tregs enhances the muscles' ability to utilize energy and improves exercise endurance.
While the study showcases the significance of Tregs in mitigating exercise-induced inflammation, it should be noted that this research is based on animal studies and needs further validation in human subjects. Nonetheless, these findings shed light on the potential anti-inflammatory effects of exercise and emphasize the importance of the body's immune defenses in maintaining overall health.
