Research shows that contracting muscles release anti-inflammatory chemicals called myokines. (cathe.com)
Specifically, we aim to investigate how muscle - specific genetic interventions can regulate lifespan, the role of myokines in mediating the crosstalk between muscle and other tissues, and the cellular and molecular responses induced in distant tissues. (ellisonfoundation.org)
Future studies will be required to examine whether physical activity and WBV promote muscle hypertrophy via a common mechanism and to elucidate the role of myokines in the metabolic effects of loading interventions. (academic.oup.com)
