Come on BAIBA light my fire
Open accessAbstract
The contracting muscle has been shown to act as an endocrine organ, secreting "myokines" that participate in tissue crosstalk. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Roberts et al. (2014) identify BAIBA as a contraction-induced myokine that results in browning of white adipose tissue and increases fat oxidation in the liver.

Circulating levels of BAIBA have an important role against cardiometabolic risks.
“Furthermore, it has been shown that circulating levels of BAIBA have an important role against cardiometabolic risks (Kammoun and Febbraio, 2014).”

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.
