Exercise training reduces circulating cytokines in male patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes: A pilot study

Abstract Low‐grade inflammation is central to coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is reduced by exercise training. The objective of this study was to compare the anti‐inflammatory potential of moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) and high‐intensity interv...

description Abstract Low‐grade inflammation is central to coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is reduced by exercise training. The objective of this study was to compare the anti‐inflammatory potential of moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) and high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with CAD with or without T2D. The design and setting of this study is based on a secondary analysis of registered randomized clinical trial NCT02765568. Male patients with CAD were randomly assigned to either MICT or HIIT, with subgroups divided according to T2D status (non‐T2D‐HIIT n = 14 and non‐T2D‐MICT n = 13; T2D‐HIIT n = 6 and T2D‐MICT n = 5). The intervention was a 12‐week cardiovascular rehabilitation program consisting of either MICT or HIIT (twice weekly sessions) and circulating cytokines measured pre‐ and post‐training as inflammatory markers. The co‐occurrence of CAD and T2D was associated with increased plasma IL‐8 (p = 0.0331). There was an interaction between T2D and the effect of the training interventions on plasma FGF21 (p = 0.0368) and IL‐6 (p = 0.0385), which were further reduced in the T2D groups. An interaction between T2D, training modalities, and the effect of time (p = 0.0415) was detected for SPARC, with HIIT increasing circulating concentrations in the control group, while lowering them in the T2D group, and the inverse occurring with MICT. The interventions also reduced plasma FGF21 (p = 0.0030), IL‐6 (p = 0.0101), IL‐8 (p = 0.0087), IL‐10 (p < 0.0001), and IL‐18 (p = 0.0009) irrespective of training modality or T2D status. HIIT and MICT resulted in similar reductions in circulating cytokines known to be increased in the context of low‐grade inflammation in CAD patients, an effect more pronounced in patients with T2D for FGF21 and IL‐6.
