Effectiveness of Exercise Intervention in Preventing Active Arthritis Exacerbation in an SKG Mouse Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

A study investigated the effects of low-intensity exercise on active arthritis in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Twenty-four female mice were divided into three groups: sedentary, induced arthritis, and induced arthritis plus low-intensity exercise. The results showed that low-intensity exercise suppressed arthritis exacerbation and decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines. The study suggests that low-intensity exercise therapy may have anti-inflammatory and suppressive effects on arthritis exacerbation in RA. However, it is important to note that this study has not been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
