The anti-inflammatory effect of exercise

TL;DR: It is suggested that myokines may be involved in mediating the health-beneficial effects of exercise and that these in particular are involved in the protection against chronic diseases associated with low-grade inflammation such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut Microbiota in Human Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Differs from Non-Diabetic Adults

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that type 2 diabetes in humans is associated with compositional changes in intestinal microbiota and the level of glucose tolerance should be considered when linking microbiota with metabolic diseases such as obesity and developing strategies to control metabolic diseases by modifying the gut microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-6 mediates hypoferremia of inflammation by inducing the synthesis of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin

TL;DR: These studies in human liver cell cultures, mice, and human volunteers indicate that IL-6 is the necessary and sufficient cytokine for the induction of hepcidin during inflammation and that the IL- 6-hepcid in axis is responsible for the hypoferremia of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise as medicine – evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in 26 different chronic diseases
