Interleukin-13 drives metabolic conditioning of muscle to endurance exercise
Open accessAbstract
IL-13 hits the gym: Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a cytokine secreted by T cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes. It acts as a central mediator in allergy and antihelminth defense with various effects. Knudsen et al. report a distinct role for IL-13 in exercise and metabolism (see the Perspective by Correia and Ruas). Mice subjected to endurance training showed increases in circulating IL-13, which correlated with ILC2 expansion in the muscles. By contrast, exercise-induced increases in muscle fatty acid utilization and mitochondrial biogenesis were erased when mice lacked IL-13. Activation of signaling pathways downstream of the muscle IL-13 receptor was key to this effect. Intramuscular injection of adenoviral IL-13 could recapitulate exercise-induced metabolic reprogramming. This signaling pathway may have evolved to combat the metabolic stresses of parasite infection. Science , this issue p. eaat3987 ; see also p. 470

Mice lacking IL-13 have reduced running capacity and fail to show certain exercise-training benefits, including improved glucose tolerance and endurance running capacity.
“Mice lacking IL-13 show reduced running capacity and do not show certain beneficial effects of exercise training, such as improvements in glucose tolerance and endurance running capacity136.”

IL-13-deficient mice show defective muscle fatty acid utilization after acute exercise and fail to increase muscle mitochondrial biogenesis after chronic exercise.
“As IL-13-deficient mice show defective muscle fatty acid utilization after acute exercise and fail to show increased muscle mitochondrial biogenesis after chronic exercise, the ILC2 to IL-13 axis might have an important role in the metabolic adaptation to exercise training136.”

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.
