Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week home-based bench step exercise program on inflammatory cytokines and lipid profiles in elderly females.Methods: Sixty-two postmenopausal females (65-85 years of age) were randomized to either the bench step exercise group (n = 31) or the control group (n = 31). The subjects in the bench step exercise group were instructed to perform bench step exercises at the exercise intensity corresponding to lactate threshold (LT), three times per day 10-20 min each session, for a goal of >= 140 min/week at home for 12 weeks. At baseline and 12 weeks, circulating levels of nine inflammatory cytokines (high-molecular-weight adiponectin, interleukin-4 [IL-4], IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], TNF-beta and interferon-gamma [IFN-gamma]) and serum lipids including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured.Results: The bench step training at the LT significantly increased HDL-C levels and decreased IFN-gamma concentrations in the subjects with lower (< 63 mg/dL) baseline HDL-C levels (p < 0.05). The change in IFN-gamma inversely correlated with the change in HDL-C in the exercise group (rho = -0.56, p < 0.01), whereas this association was not observed in the control group. Additionally, principal component analysis-derived index of what we called "inflammatory status factor" was inversely associated with the changes in HDL-C in the exercise group.Conclusion: The bench step exercise-induced reduction in the IFN-gamma levels may partially explain the degree of improvement in the HDL-C levels with the exercise program.
