Article Synopsis
- Endurance exercise like marathon running boosts specific peptides and cytokines that help repair and regenerate skeletal muscle after damage.
- The study analyzed blood samples from 57 male marathon runners at various times—before, immediately after, and up to 72 hours post-race—to track muscle damage and cytokine levels.
- Key findings showed significant increases in multiple cytokines like IL-6 and IL-10 after the marathon, along with a decrease in certain muscle-related proteins, suggesting that the body undergoes a complex repair process involving these inflammatory signals.
