Abstract

Obesity and type II diabetes are characterized by insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. A high caloric intake combined with a sedentary lifestyle is the leading cause of these conditions. Whole-body insulin resistance and its improvement are the result of the combined actions of each insulin-sensitive organ. Among the fundamental molecular mechanisms by which each organ is able to communicate and engage in cross-talk are cytokines or peptides which stem from secretory organs. Recently, it was reported that several cytokines or peptides are secreted from muscle (myokines), adipose tissue (adipokines) and liver (hepatokines) in response to certain nutrition and/or physical activity conditions. Cytokines exert autocrine, paracrine or endocrine effects for the maintenance of energy homeostasis. The present review is focused on the relationship and cross-talk amongst muscle, adipose tissue and the liver as secretory organs in metabolic diseases.

  • IL-6 secreted by adipocytes from obese patients negatively affects metabolic flexibility by decreasing insulin signaling and glucose uptake because of its proinflammatory properties.

    “IL-6, is, however, also secreted by adipocytes from obese patients and negatively affects metabolic flexibility by decreasing insulin signaling and glucose uptake because of its proinflammatory properties (114, 123).”
  • IL-6, when secreted by skeletal muscle, stimulates AMPK activity and in this way increases glucose uptake and β-oxidation in muscle and adipose tissue.

    “IL-6, for instance, when secreted by skeletal muscle, stimulates AMPK activity and in this way increases glucose uptake and β-oxidation in muscle and adipose tissue (114).”
  • Myokines play important roles in mediating the positive effects of exercise on whole-body metabolism.

    “In particular, myokines play important roles in mediating the positive effects of exercise on whole-body metabolism [reviewed in Oh et al. (114)].”
  • SFRP5 is associated with comorbidities such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis, inhibiting Wnt5a and non-canonical Wnt family and regulating expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

    “SFRP5 is associated with comorbidities such as obesity, DM2, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis, inhibiting the wingless-type family member 5a signaling (Wnt5a) and the non-canonical Wnt family and regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines [14,21].”
  • IL-6 is produced by macrophages and stimulated by activation of NF-kappaB and acts in inhibiting expression of IRS1 and GLUT4 in adipocytes.

    “It is produced by macrophages and stimulated by the activation of the nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and acts in inhibiting the expression of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) in adipocytes [14].”

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.
