TLDR
It is shown that FNDC5, a previously identified muscle protein that is induced in exercise and is cleaved and secreted as irisin, is also elevated by endurance exercise in the hippocampus of mice.

Integrative Biology of Exercise

TL;DR: The application of molecular techniques to exercise biology has provided greater understanding of the multiplicity and complexity of cellular networks involved in exercise responses, and recent discoveries offer perspectives on the mechanisms by which muscle "communicates" with other organs and mediates the beneficial effects of exercise on health and performance.

Meteorin-like Is a Hormone that Regulates Immune-Adipose Interactions to Increase Beige Fat Thermogenesis

TL;DR: The identification of meteorin-like (Metrnl), a circulating factor that is induced in muscle after exercise and in adipose tissue upon cold exposure, which links host-adaptive responses to the regulation of energy homeostasis and tissue inflammation and has therapeutic potential for metabolic and inflammatory diseases.

Irisin and FGF21 Are Cold-Induced Endocrine Activators of Brown Fat Function in Humans

TL;DR: Results suggest exercise-induced irisin secretion could have evolved from shivering-related muscle contraction, serving to augment brown fat thermogenesis in concert with FGF21, a brown adipokine in rodents.

Skeletal Muscle PGC-1α1 Modulates Kynurenine Metabolism and Mediates Resilience to Stress-Induced Depression

TL;DR: A mechanism by which skeletal muscle PGC-1α1 induced by exercise training changes kynurenine metabolism and protects from stress-induced depression is described, opening therapeutic avenues for the treatment of depression by targeting the P GC-1β-PPAR axis in skeletal muscle, without the need to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Combined adult neurogenesis and BDNF mimic exercise effects on cognition in an Alzheimer’s mouse model

TL;DR: Exercise-induced AHN improved cognition along with reduced Aβ load and increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fibronectin type III domain–containing protein–5 (FNDC5), and synaptic markers, however, AHN activation was also required for exercise-induced improvement in memory.

A cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors linked to adaptive thermogenesis.

TL;DR: Results indicate that PGC-1 plays a key role in linking nuclear receptors to the transcriptional program of adaptive thermogenesis.

The BDNF val66met polymorphism affects activity-dependent secretion of BDNF and human memory and hippocampal function

TL;DR: A role is demonstrated for BDNF and its val/met polymorphism in human memory and hippocampal function and it is suggested val/ met exerts these effects by impacting intracellular trafficking and activity-dependent secretion of BDNF.

Fitness Effects on the Cognitive Function of Older Adults: A Meta-Analytic Study

TL;DR: Fitness training was found to have robust but selective benefits for cognition, with the largest fitness-induced benefits occurring for executive-control processes.

Beige Adipocytes Are a Distinct Type of Thermogenic Fat Cell in Mouse and Human

TL;DR: Beige cells have a gene expression pattern distinct from either white or brown fat and are preferentially sensitive to the polypeptide hormone irisin, providing evidence that previously identified brown fat deposits in adult humans are composed of beige adipocytes.
