Muscle as an endocrine organ: focus on muscle-derived interleukin-6.
Skeletal muscle has recently been identified as an endocrine organ. It has, therefore, been suggested that cytokines and other peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by muscle fibers and… Expand

IL-6 enhances plasma IL-1ra, IL-10, and cortisol in humans.
The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that a transient increase in plasma IL-6 induces an anti-inflammatory environment in humans. Therefore, young healthy volunteers received a… Expand

Exercise and the immune system: regulation, integration, and adaptation.
Stress-induced immunological reactions to exercise have stimulated much research into stress immunology and neuroimmunology. It is suggested that exercise can be employed as a model of temporary… Expand

Pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine balance in strenuous exercise in humans
1 The present study investigates to what extent and by which time course prolonged strenuous exercise influences the plasma concentration of pro‐inflammatory and inflammation responsive cytokines as… Expand

Muscle‐derived interleukin‐6: mechanisms for activation and possible biological roles
It has recently been demonstrated that the marked increase in the systemic concentration of cytokine interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) seen with exercise originates from the contracting limb and that skeletal… Expand

Evidence for a release of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor from the brain during exercise
Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has an important role in regulating maintenance, growth and survival of neurons. However, the main source of circulating BDNF in response to exercise is… Expand

Interleukin-6 Increases Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Disposal in Humans and Glucose Uptake and Fatty Acid Oxidation In Vitro via AMP-Activated Protein Kinase
Although interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been associated with insulin resistance, little is known regarding the effects of IL-6 on insulin sensitivity in humans in vivo. Here, we show that IL-6 infusion… Expand

Evidence that interleukin‐6 is produced in human skeletal muscle during prolonged running
1 This study was performed to test the hypothesis that inflammatory cytokines are produced in skeletal muscle in response to prolonged intense exercise. Muscle biopsies and blood samples were… Expand
