Background: The benefits of exercise are well known; however, many of the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Skeletal muscle secretes myokines, which mediate muscle–organ crosstalk.

Irisin levels are not affected by physical activity in patients with anorexia nervosa
Irisin was recently identified as muscle-derived hormone that increases energy expenditure. Studies in normal weight and obese subjects reported an increased irisin expression following physical activity, although inconsistent results were observed ...

Multi‐Tissue Genetic Regulation of RNA Editing in Pigs
This study presents the first multi‐tissue map of RNA editing and its genetic regulation in pigs. By integrating RNA editing profiles, edQTL mapping, GWAS, and cross‐species comparisons, this work establishes RNA editing as a distinct regulatory layer linking genetic variation to complex traits, highlighting its functional and evolutionary significance.

Aberrant Myokine Signaling in Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy types 1 (DM1) and 2 (DM2) are dominantly inherited neuromuscular disorders caused by a toxic gain of function of expanded CUG and CCUG repeats, respectively. Although both disorders are clinically similar, congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM), a severe DM form, is found only in DM1. CDM is also characterized by muscle fiber immaturity

Myokines: Novel therapeutic targets for diabetic nephropathy
With the increasing incidence of diabetic nephropathy (DN), there is an urgent need to find effective DN preventive and therapeutic modalities. It is widely believed that effective exercise is good for health. However, the beneficial role of exercise in kidney disease, especially in DN, and the underlying molecular mechanisms have rarely been reported.

Advances in the research on myokine-driven regulation of bone metabolism
The traditional view posits that bones and muscles interact primarily through mechanical coupling. However, recent studies have revealed that myokines, proteins secreted by skeletal muscle cells, play a crucial role in the regulation of bone metabolism ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

The myokine irisin increases cortical bone mass [PDF]
Significance Although exercise is a well known and potent stimulus for new bone formation, and weightlessness or muscle loss characteristically cause bone loss, it has remained unclear how muscle talks to bone, despite their close proximity.

Physical Exercise Inhibits Inflammation and Microglial Activation
Accumulating evidence indicates that exercise can enhance brain function and attenuate neurodegeneration. Besides improving neuroplasticity by altering the synaptic structure and function in various brain regions, exercise also modulates multiple systems

All-trans Retinoic Acid and Beta-Carotene Increase Sclerostin Production in C2C12 Myotubes
Sclerostin is a protein secreted by osteocytes whose encoding gene SOST is regulated by mechanical stimuli, cytokines, and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and mediates antianabolic effects on bone formation as an inhibitor of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin ...
