Plasma Myokine Concentrations After Acute Exercise in Non-obese and Obese Sedentary Women.

ABSTRACT: Exercise and physical activity levels influence myokine release from skeletal muscle and contribute to circulating concentrations. Indeed, many myokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-15, secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 are higher in the circulation after an exercise bout. Since these peptides modulate muscle metabolism and can also be targeted toward other tissues to induce adaptations to energy demand, they are of great interest regarding metabolic diseases. Therefore, we set out to compare, in six women with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²) and five healthy women (BMI 22-29.9 kg/m²), the effect of an acute bout of moderate-intensity, continuous cycling exercise (60 min, 60% VO₂peak) on the release of myok
