Pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine balance in strenuous exercise in humans

TL;DR: Strenuous exercise induces an increase in the pro‐inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL‐1β and a dramatic increases in the inflammation responsive cytokine IL‐6, which is balanced by the release of cytokine inhibitors (IL‐1ra, sT NF‐r1 and sTNF‐r2) and the anti‐inflammatoryocyte IL‐10.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 stimulates lipolysis and fat oxidation in humans.

TL;DR: The data identify IL-6 as a potent modulator of fat metabolism in humans, increasing fat oxidation and FA reesterification without causing hypertriacylglyceridemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle-derived interleukin-6: possible biological effects.

TL;DR: Muscle‐derived IL‐6 is released into the circulation during exercise in high amounts and is likely to work in a hormone‐like fashion, exerting an effect on the liver and adipose tissue, thereby contributing to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis during exercise and mediating exercise‐induced lipolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D controls T cell antigen receptor signaling and activation of human T cells

TL;DR: It is shown that naive human T cells had very low expression of PLC-γ1 and that this correlated with low T cell antigen receptor (TCR) responsiveness in naive T cells, however, TCR triggering led to an upregulation of ∼75-fold in PLC -γ1 expression, which correlated with greater TCR responsiveness.
