Popis: Non-randomized study. Previous studies indicated that at least 2-h leg exercise at more than 60% maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) increased plasma interleukin (IL)-6 in able-bodied (AB) subjects. The purpose of the present study was to compare IL-6 response to arm exercise in AB subjects and persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Wakayama Medical University in Japan. Six subjects with SCI between T6 and T10 and seven AB subjects performed 2-h arm crank ergometer exercise at 60%VO2max. Plasma catecholamines, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured before exercise, 60-min exercise, immediately and 2 h after the completion of exercise. Arm exercise increased myoglobin and plasma IL-6 levels in SCI and AB (P
