IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-10, IRS-2, and MMP-9 mRNA expression in PBMC. Box plots of aerobic training effects on interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) (a), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (b), interferon-gamma (IFN)-γ (c), interleukin-10 (IL-10) (d), insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS-2) (e), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) mRNA expression in PBMC of eight women with metabolic syndrome. Values are normalized to β-actin mRNA expression. Data are expressed as median, interquartile range, and whiskers extending to the 5th and 95th percentiles. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001 after vs. before training.
