Skeletal Muscle, Myokines and Health

open access: yesMedicine Science | International Medical Journal, 2012
There is accumulating epidemiological evidence that a physically active life plays an independent role in the protection against metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and dementia. For most of the last century, researchers sought a link between muscle contraction and humoral changes in the form of an 'exercise factor ...

FNDC4 and FNDC5 Attenuate SARS‐CoV‐2 S1‐Induced Inflammatory Responses in Human Adipose Tissue

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
In obesity, reduced FNDC4 and FNDC5 amplify SARS‐CoV‐2 S1–driven inflammation in visceral adipose tissue. These adipo‐myokines limit adipocyte–macrophage inflammatory signalling, suggesting a protective role against viral‐induced adipose tissue dysfunction.

The Significance of Selected Myokines in Predicting the Length of Rehabilitation of Patients after COVID-19 Infection

open access: yesBiomedicines
In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, understanding the intricate mechanisms of the body’s response to infection and inflammation has become a priority for the medical and research communities. It has been proven that during COVID-19 infection,

Myosteatosis Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients With Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer Treated With Enzalutamide

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urology, Volume 33, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Prostate cancer prognostication has traditionally emphasized tumor‐related factors (e.g., Gleason score and metastatic burden). Emerging evidence suggests that physical (host) factors influence outcomes. This study evaluated whether physical factors, including myosteatosis and sarcopenia, are prognostic factors in patients with ...

Hydrogen Sulfide and Irisin, Potential Allies in Ensuring Cardiovascular Health

open access: yesAntioxidants
Irisin is a myokine secreted under the influence of physical activity and exposure to low temperatures and through different exogenous stimuli by the cleavage of its precursor, fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5).

The Role of Myokines in Liver Diseases

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Myokine is a general term for hormones, peptides, and other substances secreted by skeletal muscle. Myokine has attracted much attention in recent years as a key substance for understanding the mechanism of “exercise and health”. Skeletal muscle accounts for about 40% of the total human weight and is now recognized as an endocrine organ that produces ...

Physical exercise and myokines

open access: yes, 2019
Among the types of muscles present in the body is skeletal muscle, which is the one that allows the development of physical activity thanks to the contractile activity of its muscle cells. It is known that physical exercise involves the release of plasma, by the skeletal muscle, of molecules called myokines as a result of ...
