Changes in circulating ECP and eosinophils between sedentary and exercise treatment groups. Serum samples were collected from sedentary and exercise subjects at pre- and post-study timepoints. ECP levels in serum (A) were measured via ECP-specific ELISA. Cells were harvested from the peripheral blood at pre- and post-study timepoints. Differential cell counts for (B) eosinophils were performed as described in the text. Results are reported as percent of total peripheral blood immune cells. Black bars indicate average measurements in each group (education: n = 8; exercise: n = 6).
