Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle–Organ Crosstalk: The Emerging Roles of Myokines
TL;DR: It is suggested that myokines may be useful biomarkers for monitoring exercise prescription for people with, for example, cancer, diabetes, or neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial health effects of exercise – the role of IL-6 as a myokine
TL;DR: It is proposed that muscle-derived IL-6 meets the criteria of an exercise factor and that such classes of cytokine should be named 'myokines', which creates a new paradigm: skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6-relation to truncal fat mass and muscle mass in healthy elderly individuals and in patients with type-2 diabetes.

TL;DR: High plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 in elderly healthy people and in patients with type 2 diabetes are associated with increased truncal fat mass, suggesting that cytokines are partly derived from this adipose tissue bed.
Journal ArticleDOI
BDNF is a novel marker of cognitive function in ageing women: the DR's EXTRA Study.

TL;DR: Present data suggest that plasma BDNF is a biomarker of impaired memory and general cognitive function in ageing women and was not associated with cognition in men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise and cytokines
TL;DR: It is likely that IL‐6 plays a beneficial role and may be involved in mediating exercise‐related metabolic changes and there appears to be a logarithmic relationship.
