Evidence that interleukin-6 is produced in human skeletal muscle during prolonged running
TL;DR: The hypothesis that inflammatory cytokines are produced in skeletal muscle in response to prolonged intense exercise is tested and it is suggested that exercise‐induced destruction of muscle fibres in skeletal muscles may trigger local production of IL‐6, which stimulates the production ofIL‐1ra from circulating BMNC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength Training Increases Insulin-Mediated Glucose Uptake, GLUT4 Content, and Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Mads Holten,Morten Zacho,Michael Gaster,Carsten Juel,Jørgen F. P. Wojtaszewski,Flemming Dela +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that strength training for 30 min three times per week increases insulin action in skeletal muscle in both groups, and the adaptation is attributable to local contraction-mediated mechanisms involving key proteins in the insulin signaling cascade.

Exercise-induced immunomodulation--possible roles of neuroendocrine and metabolic factors.
Bente Klarlund Pedersen,Helle Bruunsgaard,Mads Klokker,M. Kappel,D. A. MacLean,Henning B. Nielsen,Thomas Rohde,Henrik Ullum,Morten Zacho +8 more
TL;DR: A model based on the possible roles that stress hormones play a mediating the exercise- related immunological changes is proposed: adrenaline and to a lesser degree noradrenaline are responsible for the immediate effects of exercise on lymphocyte subpopulations and cytotoxic activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility, physical capacity, and health benefits of a multidimensional exercise program for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
Lis Adamsen,Julie Midtgaard,Mikael Rørth,Niels Borregaard,Christina Andersen,Morten Quist,Tom Møller,Morten Zacho,Jan K. Madsen,L. Knutsen +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that an exercise program, which combines high- and low-intensity physical activities, may be used to prevent and/or minimize physical inactivity, fatigue, muscle wasting and energy loss in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
