This study investigated the acute and chronic effects of 4 weeks of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on cytokines and oxidative stress markers in postmenopausal obese women. Ten post-menopause sedentary obese women (age 58.25 ± 3.10 years; BMI 31.70 ± 1.34 kg/m²) performed 4 weeks of high intensity interval exercise (60 seconds of effort at 85%-90% Maximal Heart Rate interspersed by 75 seconds of recovery at sessions of 40% Maximal Heart Rate) twice a week. Blood samples were collected before and immediately after the first and the last (8th) high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) session to analyze interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-1ra, IL-6, IL-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels and lipid peroxidation (TBARS), nitrites, and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). An elevation in MCP-1, IL-6, and IL-10 levels and in TBARS and AOPP occurred immediately after the first HIIE. After 4 weeks of HIIT, the participants presented lower levels of IL-6 and higher amounts of IL-1ra and IL-10 at rest. The last HIIE session induced an elevation only in IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1ra levels, but not in MCP-1, IL-1β, and TBARS levels. In conclusion, HIIT induced anti-inflammatory effects in postmenopausal obese women, with little changes in oxidative stress markers.
