Figure 1: Responsiveness of innate immune cells to the bacterial/mitochondrial stimulus fMLF in IBD (N=18) versus non-IBD patients (n=19). Responsiveness is determined by flowcytometric analysis of the cellular activation markers CD10 (A) , CD11b(B-D) , CD35 (E-G) and the adhesion marker CD62L(H-J) . MFI is compared between study groups at day 0 and after 3 consecutive days of prolonged moderate exercise with the Mann-Whitney U test. Data are presented as scatter plot with median and interquartile range. Abbreviations: IBD = inflammatory bowel disease; MFI = Median fluorescent intensity; AU= arbitrary units.
