Interleukin-6 Is a Novel Factor Mediating Glucose Homeostasis During Skeletal Muscle Contraction
Mark A. Febbraio,Natalie Hiscock,Natalie Hiscock,Massimo Sacchetti,Christian P. Fischer,Bente Klarlund Pedersen +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that IL-6 contributes to the contraction-induced increase in endogenous glucose production (EGP), and potential new insights are provided into factors that mediate glucose production and disposal and implicates IL- 6 in the so-called "work factor."

Exercise and immune function. Recent developments.
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of nutritional supplements, primarily zinc, vitamin C, glutamine and carbohydrate, on the acute immune response to prolonged exercise has been measured in endurance athletes.

The role of exercise-induced myokines in muscle homeostasis and the defense against chronic diseases.
TL;DR: Exercise-induced myokines appear to be involved in mediating both systemic as well as local anti-inflammatory effects, and may also counteract TNF-driven insulin resistance.
Physical activity and muscle-brain crosstalk.
TL;DR: Evidence is described that supports the existence of a muscle–brain endocrine loop, in which muscle-induced peripheral factors enable direct crosstalk between muscle and brain function, as well as implicated in mediating the exercise-induced beneficial impact on neurogenesis, cognitive function, appetite and metabolism.

Exercise as an anti-inflammatory therapy for rheumatic diseases—myokine regulation
TL;DR: How exercise disrupts the vicious cycle of chronic inflammation directly, after each bout of exercise, and indirectly, by improving comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors is discussed.
