Introduction: Prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) may be a good biomarker of inflammation and useful in monitoring diseases, without the necessity of invasive sampling. To see whether inflammation in muscles occurs during physical exercise, the influence of physical exercise on urinary PGE-MUM levels was analyzed in high school boys belonging to a soccer club. Materials and methods: Void urine samples were obtained before and after physical exercises 1 (mild exercise) and...
