From: Do skeletal muscle composition and gene expression as well as acute exercise-induced serum adaptations in older adults depend on fitness status?

Fig. 5

Changes in serum concentrations of molecules involved in ageing, muscle damage and neurotrophic adaptation. HPF and LPF were examined after an acute exercise test (pre vs. post). A HSP70 showed non-significant higher basal values in HPF (p = 0.069) compared to LPF. B Plasma levels of BDNF were non-significantly higher in HPF pre and post. C Irisin concentrations were pre higher in HPF compared to LPF, but this difference was blunted post. D Serum concentration of inflammation marker Il-6 increased post in HPF and LPF. E Kynurenine did not differ in both groups, but due to an increase in LPF and a decrease in HPF post a tendency for different adaptations (p = 0.0927) was observed
