Objective: Exercise training has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in patients with type 2 diabetes. Changes in interleukin-6 (ILA) serum concentrations in response to training could contribute to these beneficial effects. However. there are heterogeneous data on whether circulating IL-6 is altered by exercise training. We therefore hypothesize that genetic factors modify the individual changes in IL-6 levels after long-term training.Research design and methods: The -174G/C variant ill the IL-6 gene was genotyped in 60 Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. For a 12-month interventional study, patients were randomized into three groups: it control group (n =16) was compared with one group, which underwent a standardized training program (n=24) and another group, which was treated with 4 mg rosiglitazone once daily (n=20). At baseline, after 1, 6,and 12 months, we determined glucose tolerance and fitness level. of 11-6 and. at baseline and after 12 months. we determined glucose tolerance and fitness level.Results: Only in subjects carrying the SNP -174C allele did long-term exercise training result in significantly reduced IL-6 serum concentrations. Multivariate linear regression analysis identified the IL-6 genotype as a significant predictor of changes in IL-6 serum concentrations independent of age. gender and improvement in body mass index, hemoglobin (I-Ib)A(1c), and fitness level in response to training.Conclusions: Genetic variants in the IL-6 gene significantly modify changes in IL-6 serum concentrations ill response to long-term exercise training programs. Our data Suggest that genetic factors are important determinants for the individual response to anti-inflammatory effects of exercise training.
