Myokines mediate the cross talk between skeletal muscle and other organs

Abstract

Myokines are muscle-derived cytokines and chemokines that act extensively on organs and exert beneficial metabolic functions in the whole-body through specific signal networks. Myokines as mediators provide the conceptual basis for a whole new paradigm useful for understanding how skeletal muscle communicates with other organs. In this review, we summarize and discuss classes of myokines and their physiological functions in mediating the regulatory roles of skeletal muscle on other organs and the regulation of the whole-body energy metabolism. We review the mechanisms involved in the interaction between skeletal muscle and nonmuscle organs through myokines. Moreover, we clarify the connection between exercise, myokines and disease development, which may contribute to the understanding of a potential mechanism by which physical inactivity affects the process of metabolic diseases via myokines. Based on the current findings, myokines are important factors that mediate the effect of skeletal muscle on other organ functions and whole-body metabolism.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Physical exercise influences the predominance of the secretion of anti-inflammatory myokines, adipokines, and hepatokines, such as irisin, IL-6, IL-15, myonectin, adiponectin, and FGF21.

    “For these reasons, physical exercise is a powerful ally in the prevention and improvement of the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases, DM2, and obesity, since it influences the predominance of the secretion of anti-inflammatory myokines, adipokines, and hepatokines, such as irisin, IL-6, IL -15, myonectin, adiponectin, FGF21 (which mitigate the harmful effects of myostatin), TNF-α, resistin, cheme”
  • These anti-inflammatory cytokines mitigate the harmful effects of myostatin, TNF-α, resistin, chemerin, fetuin-A, and other cytokines.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
