Exercise is the real polypill. (2013, background): “Muscle release of IL-6 increases with exercise intensity (356) and duration (125), with muscle-mass recruitment (368), and when muscle glycogen stores are low (220, 456), but decreases with muscle damage (285, 509) or with carbohydrate ingestion (179, 248, 265–267, 339 – 341).”
Muscle–Organ Crosstalk: The Emerging Roles of Myokines (2020, background): “Physical inactivity is associated with high circulating basal levels of IL-6 in humans (55).”
Dietary factors and low-grade inflammation in relation to overweight and obesity (2011, unknown): “ation of the event explaining more than 50 % of the variation in concentration((210)).”
Role of myokines in exercise and metabolism. (2007, background): “The IL-6 response to exercise has been reviewed (18, 20).”
