The Claim
Young women exhibit a delayed but significant increase in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 at 72 hours following eccentric exercise, whereas postmenopausal women do not show this increase, indicating a temporal difference in the resolution phase of inflammation between these age groups.
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.
After eccentric exercise, young women show a measurable rise in the anti-inflammatory molecule IL-10 at 72 hours, while postmenopausal women do not.
See the scientific wording
Young women exhibit a delayed but significant increase in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 72 hours after eccentric exercise, while postmenopausal women do not, suggesting a temporal difference in the resolution phase of inflammation between age groups.
After intense muscle exercise, immune cells in young women shift to a healing mode three days later, releasing a signal that stops inflammation. In older women, this shift does not happen because their bodies no longer respond to the hormone that triggers it.
What the research says
1 studyYoung women’s bodies produce more of a healing chemical called IL-10 three days after intense exercise, but older women’s bodies don’t make as much — meaning their bodies may take longer to calm down after exercise.
