Plasma Myokine Concentrations After Acute Exercise in Non-obese and Obese Sedentary Women

Exercise and physical activity levels influence myokine release from skeletal muscle and contribute to circulating concentrations. Indeed, many myokines, including interleukin (IL-) 6, IL-15, secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 are higher in the circulation after an exercise bout. Since these peptides modulate muscle metabolism and can also be targeted towards other tissues to induce adaptations...
