Effects of exercise on adipokines and the metabolic syndrome

You, Tongjian, Nicklas, Barbara J.·2008·Current Diabetes Reports

Abstract

Adipokines, or adipose tissue-derived cytokines/proteins, may be important factors linking excess adipose tissue to individual metabolic risk factors, and the overall metabolic syndrome. Current evidence supports that aerobic exercise, alone or combined with hypocaloric diet, improves symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, possibly by altering systemic levels of inflammatory adipokines. A number of studies show that increased physical activity leads to lower circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines and higher levels of adiponectin. However, limited data show that exercise training does not influence adipose tissue adipokine expression or release. Conversely, exercise training may influence cytokine production by circulating mononuclear cells, another important source of elevated inflammation. Future studies are needed to investigate the cellular mechanisms by which exercise training affects inflammation and whether alterations in inflammation are one mechanism by which exercise improves components of the metabolic syndrome in at-risk individuals.

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.
