Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, and lactate in response to combat physical fitness test

ConclusionIn conclusion, it suggested that IL-6 is responsive to short-term maximal power output required in combat readiness test. However, it appears that 3 –4 min of high-intensity exercise induces comparatively moderate post-exercise increment in IL-6, which appears to be inadequate to activate the systemic anti-inflammatory influences that are mediated via secondary IL-6-activated up-regulation of anti-inflammatory signaling myokines such as IL-10 .
