Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors for various metabolic diseases, and it is characterized by central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. The core component for MetS is adipose tissue, which releases adipokines and influences physical health. Adipokines consist of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and contribute to various physiological functions. Generally, a sedentary lifestyle promotes fat accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory adipokines. However, regular exercise has been known to exert various beneficial effects on metabolic and cognitive disorders. Although the mechanisms underlying exercise beneficial effects in MetS are not fully understood, changes in energy expenditure, fat accumulation, circulatory level of myokines, and adipokines might be involved. This review article focuses on some of the selected adipokines in MetS, and their responses to exercise training considering possible mechanisms.

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

  • After 8 weeks of training in 22 obese individuals, improvements in fitness and reductions in adiposity were recorded.

    “Although improvements in fitness and reductions in adiposity were recorded after 8 weeks of training”

    From Exercise-Induced Muscle–Fat Crosstalk: Molecular Mediators and Their Pharmacological Modulation for the Maintenance of Metabolic Flexibility in Aging (2025) · cites this paper as [76]

    The Introduction section, “Effects of exercise on MetS” (page unavailable), identifies reduced visceral adiposity as a possible benefit of regular exercise. The paper does not report that fitness improved and adiposity fell after eight weeks in 22 obese individuals; searches for that sample, duration, and combination of outcomes found no such passage. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • In 22 obese individuals, the acute cytokine response to exercise remained comparable after 8 weeks of training.

    “the acute cytokine response remained comparable, reflecting a similar per-exercise immune reaction despite physiological adaptations”

    From Exercise-Induced Muscle–Fat Crosstalk: Molecular Mediators and Their Pharmacological Modulation for the Maintenance of Metabolic Flexibility in Aging (2025) · cites this paper as [76]

    The Introduction section on TNF-α and IL-6 says a single exercise session induces an acute inflammatory response and chronic training may produce a different adaptation. It does not report a before-and-after comparison of acute cytokine responses in 22 obese individuals after eight weeks of training (searched for the sample size, duration, and comparable responses). (LLM, conf=0.75)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

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.
