This process is extremely complicated, comprising not only bone metabolism regulation made by T cells and B cells, but also the effects of bone immune related factors such as RANKL, TNF-α and IFN-γ etc on bone metabolism. Exercise may affect bone metabolism by regulating the bone immune system, and there are certain differences between different intensities. Medium and low intensity exercise can promote lymphocyte proliferation, up regulate the expression of IFN-γ etc, degrade TRAF 6, further restrain RANKL signal and OC formation; while high intensity exercise can re-strain immune functions, up regulate the expression of factors such as TNF-α and IL, directly or indirectly activate RANKL signal pathway, and promote bone absorption. This study also provides a new idea for enriching the study of the molecular biological mechanism of exercise regulating bone metabolism.
