The Claim

Twelve weeks of interval resistance and aerobic training increases plasma Maresin-1 by approximately 24.9% and reduces interleukin-6 by 37.3% and HOMA-IR by 49.2% in obese men.

Cause and effect

In plain English

In obese men, 12 weeks of combined interval resistance and aerobic exercise increases Maresin-1 by 24.9% and decreases interleukin-6 by 37.3% and HOMA-IR by 49.2%.

See the scientific wording

Twelve weeks of interval resistance and aerobic training alone increases plasma Maresin-1 by approximately 24.9% and reduces interleukin-6 by 37.3% and HOMA-IR by 49.2% in obese men, demonstrating that exercise alone can enhance inflammation resolution and insulin sensitivity.

Why this might work

Physical training releases a fatty acid called DHA from fat and muscle cells, which immune cells convert into a molecule called Maresin-1. Maresin-1 switches immune cells from a pro-inflammatory state to an anti-inflammatory state, reducing harmful signals in the blood. This allows insulin to work better in muscle cells, pulling more glucose out of the blood and lowering insulin resistance.

    Even without taking any supplements, obese men who did 12 weeks of combined strength and cardio exercise saw their body’s natural anti-inflammatory molecule go up and their blood sugar and insulin resistance go down—exactly what the claim says.
