Modulation of cytokine production by physical activity is of considerable interest, since it might be a promising strategy for correcting metabolic processes at both cellular and systemic levels. The content of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-15 in the plasma and the concentration of monovalent cations in the skeletal muscles of trained and untrained mice were studied at different periods after static and dynamic exercises. Dynamic loads caused an increase in the IL-6 content and decrease in the IL-15 content in the plasma of untrained mice, but produced no effect on the concentration of IL-8. In trained mice, the effect of a single load on the concentration of IL-6 and IL-15 in the plasma was enhanced, while the concentration of IL-8 decreased. Static loads produced a similar, but more pronounced effect on the plasma concentration of IL-6 and IL-15 compared the dynamic exercises; however, the concentration of IL-8 in response to the static exercise increased significantly. Prior training reinforced the described response for all the myokines studied. Dynamic load (swimming) increased the intracellular content of sodium but decreased the content of potassium in the mouse musculus soleus . Similar response was observed after the static load (grid hanging) in the musculus biceps ; but no correlation of this response with the prior training was found. Possible mechanisms involved in the regulation of cytokine secretion after exercise are discussed, including triggering of gene transcription in response to changes in the [Na + ] i /[K + ] I ratio.

The effect of forced treadmill running on the level of some cytokines in skeletal muscles of mice with a model of type II diabetes mellitus was studied. The mouse model was developed using a 12-week high-fat diet; physical loading in the form of forced treadmill running was applied for 4 weeks. The concentration of myokines in m. gastrocnemius was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Diabetes formation in mice was accompanied by changes in the skeletal muscle concentration of two pro-inflammatory cytokines: an increase in IL-6 and a decrease in IL-15. Forced treadmill running loads had differential effects on the level of myokines in healthy and sick mice. In healthy animals, there was a decrease in IL-6 and IL-15 concentrations and an increase in the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) concentration in skeletal muscles after 4 weeks of regular forced running. At the same time, in diabetic mice, IL-6 and IL-15 concentrations increased, while the LIF concentration decreased after forced running loads. The NAP3 concentration in skeletal muscles was found to be insensitive to both the development of type II diabetes mellitus and regular forced treadmill running.

The effect of treadmill running exercise training on the content of some cytokines in the skeletal muscles of mice with a model of type II diabetes mellitus was studied. To develop a model of the disease, a high fat feeding for 12 weeks was used, physical activity in the form of forced running was carried out for 4 weeks. The concentration of myokines in the muscle tissue of m. gastrocnemius was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The development of diabetes in mice is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and a decrease in the concentration of IL-15 in skeletal muscle tissue. 4 weeks treadmill running exercise training has a different effect on the content of myokines in healthy and sick mice. In healthy animals, there was a decrease in IL-6 and IL-15 concentration and an increase in LIF concentration in skeletal muscle tissue after 4 weeks of regular forced running. At the same time, in diabetic mice, the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-15 increased after exercise, while LIF, on the contrary, decreased. The concentration of NAP3 in the skeletal muscle tissue of mice was insensitive to either the formation of diabetes mellitus II or to regular treadmill running exercise training.

An experimental model of the obesity and type II diabetes mellitus formation in C57BL/6 mice using a high fat diet was developed and tested. In the study, it was shown that mice feeding high-fat diet had a significant body weight gain during the 3rd week. By the end of the experiment, body weight has more than doubled. In mice that feed chow diet, body weight increased by 50%, by the end of the experiment It was shown that high fat diet also induced glucose tolerance, and the insulin concentration tripled. The data obtained confirm the adequacy of the experimental model of diabetes mellitus type II in mice.

We measured the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-15 in blood plasma of mice at different terms after forced swimming, taking into account exercise intensity and preliminary training. It was shown that training was an important factor affecting blood plasma level of IL both at rest and after single forced swimming: in trained animals, the concentration of both myokines increased immediately after swimming, while in untrained animals, this increase was observed only after 5 h. Changes in cytokine production against the background of training can be associated with various factors, including neuroendocrine mechanisms, stress, modification of intracellular signaling, as well as reorganization of transcriptional mechanisms in muscle fibers. The most important factor is shift in the ratio of monovalent cations (sodium and potassium) in the cytoplasm.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of dynamic and static exercises on eNOS concentrations in the blood plasma of athletes who do cyclic and strength kind of sports, as well as in men, who are not involved in any sports.Materials and methods. Determination of plasma concentrations of eNOS was performed by using enzyme immunoassay. Blood samples were collected from weightlifters and track and field athletes before and after static and dynamic exercises.Results. It has been shown that regular exercises contribute to a significant increase in the background level of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the plasma of athletes. It is necessary to note that eNOS is almost twice higher in the weightlifters than in the track and field athletes. eNOS concentrations significantly decrease in athletes after static exercises, but on the contrary, increase after dynamic exercises. eNOS level rise in untrained individuals occurs after all kinds of exercises, although the influence of dynamic exercises is much more pronounced. Plasma concentrations of eNOS in all groups returned to baseline during the recovery period.These results suggest that the underlying mechanism that regulates the amount of eNOS in the plasma during exercises is associated with vascular factors, first and foremost, with the intensity of regional blood flow and its impact on the endothelium surface. Therefore, this protein cannot be positioned as a representative of a myokine group.

The influence of dynamic and static load on the plasma level of myokines in strength-and endurance-trained athletes and untrained subjects has been studied. The range of myokines has been found to depend on the type of loads and the level of fitness. Dynamic and static exercises have different effects on the level of myokines in athletes and untrained subjects. The dynamic load increases the level of IL-6 and IL-8 in the plasma of athletes, while the static load increases the concentration of IL-15 and LIF. At the same time, no increase in the level of IL-8 after cyclic loading or in IL-15 after a static load has been observed in the control group. These differences may be based on a number of mechanisms. The cellular composition of skeletal muscles and the phenotypic features of muscle fibers, changing as a result of regular exercise, can modify the processes of myokine production. However, the processes of transcription in muscle fibers are much more important; the most important ones are HIF-1α, [Ca2+]i and [Na+]i/[K+]i-dependent intracellular signaling pathways. The modification of these mechanisms caused by different physical loads and intensity is of great interest since it is a promising way to influence the metabolic processes at the cellular and systemic levels, which is very helpful in both improving athletic performance and correcting metabolic disorders in a number of socially significant diseases.

Skeletal muscle cells secrete a variety of hormones and cytokines, which are referred to as myokines. Different modes of exercise are the main factor of myokines producing. The myokines expression level is increased in an exponential fashon proportional to the length of exercise and the amount of muscle mass engaged in the exercise. These myokines are described to communicate with cells in an autocrine/ paracrine manner. Thus it ensures the maintenance of homeostasis and adaptarion to physical stress. This myokines role is provided by a vriety of effects. It is assumed that exercise increases myokines transcription via signaling systems that are activated in response to a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen, increasing the concentration of [Ca²⁺] i and AMP. Significant prospects have the myokines investigation of the role in the different disorders correction. So now accumulated enough data for myokines consideration as a single functional system, which plays an important role in the adaptation mechanisms to the habitual exrcise.

The results of study, in which we examined the influence of nanosized magnetite on breath organs histological structure and contractility activity of the airways of guinea pigs by method of mechanography has been presented. In the lungs of experimental animals an inflammatory response developed as a result of long-term inhalation intake of nanosized magnetite. Also the functional status of the airways changed and appeared as changing of amplitude of contractility response under the action of histamine.

This study investigates the contractile activity of smooth muscle segments of guinea pig pulmonary artery by the method of mechanografy and morphological picture of lungs, airways and blood vessels of the pulmonary circulation under the influence of nanosized magnetite. It is shown that chronic inhalation intake of magnetite nanoparticles has a cytotoxic effect, leading to inflammatory changes in the airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vessels, as well as a change in contractile activity of the pulmonary artery by the action of neurotransmitters and mediators of exercising their functions under physiological conditions or produced during the inflammatory the process.
