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.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
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.
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.
What the research says
1 studyEven 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.
