Plasma vitamin D and cytokines in relation to exercise in patients with fibromyalgia- A 15-week strength training intervention trial

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the relationship between plasma vitamin D, cytokines, and exercise in women with fibromyalgia.
• Conducted a 15-week strength training intervention trial in women with fibromyalgia.
• Measured levels of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and various cytokines before and after the intervention.
• Analyzed the response variations among different subgroups based on objective data.
• Vitamin D levels significantly increased following the resistance exercise.
• Variability in response to strength training was observed among different subgroups.
• Individualized therapy strategies are encouraged based on observed differences in cytokine and vitamin D responses.
