Vitamin D supplementation during exercise training does not alter inflammatory biomarkers in overweight and obese subjects
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vitamin D supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers in overweight and obese adults participating in a progressive resistance exercise training program . Twenty-three ( 26.1 ± 4.7 years ) overweight and obese ( BMI 31.3 ± 3.2 kg/m2 ) adults were r and omized into a double-blind vitamin D supplementation ( Vit D 4,000 IU/day ; female 5 , male 5 ) or placebo ( PL , female 7 ; male 6 ) intervention trial . Both groups performed 12 weeks ( 3 days/week ) of progressive resistance exercise training ( three sets of eight exercises ) at 70–80 % of one repetition maximum . Whole-blood lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated tumor necrosis factor ( TNF ) α production as well as circulating C-reactive protein ( CRP ) , TNFα , interleukin 6 ( IL-6 ) , and alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ) were assessed at baseline and after the 12-week intervention . No main effects of group or time were detected for circulating CRP , TNFα , IL-6 , and ALT . As expected , when PL and Vit D groups were combined , there was a significant correlation between percent body fat and CRP at baseline ( r = 0.45 , P = 0.04 ) , and between serum 25OHD and CRP at 12 weeks ( r = 0.49 , P = 0.03 ) . The PL group had a significant increase in 25 μg/ml LPS + polymixin B-stimulated TNFα production ( P = 0.04 ) , and both groups had a significant reduction in unstimulated TNFα production ( P < 0.05 ) after the 12-week intervention . Vitamin D supplementation in healthy , overweight , and obese adults participating in a resistance training intervention did not augment exercise-induced changes in inflammatory biomarkers
