Journal ArticleDOI
IL-6 enhances plasma IL-1ra, IL-10, and cortisol in humans
Adam Steensberg,Christian P. Fischer,Charlotte Keller,Kirsten Møller,Bente Klarlund Pedersen +4 more
TL;DR: IL-6 induces an increase in cortisol and, consequently, in neutrocytosis and late lymphopenia to the same magnitude and with the same kinetics as during exercise, suggesting that muscle-derived IL-6 has a central role in exercise-induced leukocyte trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of interleukin‐6 in contracting human skeletal muscles can account for the exercise‐induced increase in plasma interleukin‐6
Adam Steensberg,Gerrit van Hall,Takuya Osada,Massimo Sacchetti,Bengt Saltin,Bente Klarlund Pedersen +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that IL‐6 produced by skeletal contracting muscle contributes to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis during prolonged exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle and blood metabolites during a soccer game: implications for sprint performance.
TL;DR: Sprint performance is reduced both temporarily during a game and at the end of a soccer game, the latter finding may be explained by low glycogen levels in individual muscle fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-6 stimulates lipolysis and fat oxidation in humans.
Gerrit van Hall,Adam Steensberg,Massimo Sacchetti,Christian P. Fischer,Charlotte Keller,Peter Schjerling,Natalie Hiscock,Kirsten Møller,Bengt Saltin,Mark A. Febbraio,Bente Klarlund Pedersen +10 more
TL;DR: The data identify IL-6 as a potent modulator of fat metabolism in humans, increasing fat oxidation and FA reesterification without causing hypertriacylglyceridemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle-derived interleukin-6: possible biological effects.
TL;DR: Muscle‐derived IL‐6 is released into the circulation during exercise in high amounts and is likely to work in a hormone‐like fashion, exerting an effect on the liver and adipose tissue, thereby contributing to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis during exercise and mediating exercise‐induced lipolysis.
