It is plausible that multiple muscle biopsies following a muscle damaging intervention can exacerbate the inflammatory and subsequent satellite cell responses. To elucidate confounding effects of muscle biopsy procedure on satellite cell number, indirect markers of damage and the inflammatory response following acute downhill running (DHR) were investigated. 10 healthy male participant were divided into a non-exercising control (n = 4) and DHR (12 x 5min bouts, 10 % decline at 85 % VO(2)max) (n = 6) group. Blood samples were taken pre, post and every 24 h for 9 days. Serum was analysed for creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin (Mb), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-10. Muscle biopsies taken on days 1 and 2 post intervention from opposing legs were analysed for Pax7(+) satellite cells. In the DHR group, Mb (536 +/- A 277 ng mL(-1)), IL-6 (12.6 +/- A 4.7 pg mL(-1)) and IL-10 (27.3 +/- A 11.5 pg mL(-1)) peaked immediately post DHR, while CK (2651 +/- A 1911 U L-1), LDH (202 +/- A 47 U L-1) and TNF-alpha (25.1 +/- A 8.7 pg mL(-1)) peaked on day 1. A 30 % increase in Pax7(+) satellite cells on day 1 in the DHR group was no longer apparent on day 2. H&E staining show evidence of phagocytosis in the DHR group. No significant changes over time were observed in the control group for any of the variables measured. Events observed in the DHR group were as a result of the intervention protocol and subsequent muscle damage. The relationship between SC proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokine release appears to be complex since the IL-6/IL-10 response time differs significantly from the TNF-alpha response.
