Inflammatory pathways are involved in destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. We assessed the hypothesis that endurance training decreases circulating concentrations of inflammatory markers in persons with coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs). Thirty-two subjects with CAD and/or CVRFs joined a 12-week supervised endurance training. We found a significant decrease of the chemokines interleukin (IL)-8 (pre: 3.9 +/- 0.6, change: -1.2 +/- 0.4 pg/ml, -21%, p = 0.002) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (pre: 213 9, change: -20.4 +/- 8.2 pg/ml, -5%, p = 0.03). Diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly influenced changes of IL-8 (P = 0.002). IL-8 Substantially dropped by 39% in diabetics. Moreover, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) highly significantly decreased in response to training (pre: 750 +/- 98, change: -278 +/- 77 ng/ml, -18%, p = 0.005). Exercise-induced changes of MMP-9 were influenced by concomitant use of statins (p = 0.038). We observed a particularly strong MMP-9 reduction of 44% in patients treated with statins. Acute phase reactants IL-6 (pre: 1.7 +/- 0.3, change: +0.25 +/- 0.7 pg/ml, +4%, p = 0.58) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (pre: 2.1 +/- 0.5, change: -0.25 +/- 0.4 mgA, -9%, p = 0.54) did not change in response to training. In conclusion, endurance training decreased circulating chemokines and MMP-9, which may in part explain its beneficial effect on coronary risk. Patients with DM or treated with statins because of hypercholesterolemia may particularly take advantage. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
