A before and after study involving 43 adult subjects at risk of having ischemic heart disease. Subjects underwent 6 months of supervised moderate intensity aerobic and resistive exercise training. Blood samples were obtained at entry and at 6 months for measurement of complement (C3), CRP, blood lipid levels, lymphocyte phenotypes, and for the isolation, culture, and measurement of the spontaneous and phytohemagglutinin-induced secretion of proatherogenic and antiatherogenic cytokines by their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
