Signaling molecules induced by exercise that mediate its systemic effects
An exerkine is a signaling molecule released in response to exercise that helps mediate systemic adaptations to exercise.[1]
Types
Exerkines come in many forms, including hormones, metabolites, proteins and nucleic acids; are synthesized and secreted from multiple tissues and cell types; and exert their effects through endocrine, paracrine and/or autocrine pathways.[2] These effects are thought to underlie many health benefits of exercise in terms of enhanced resilience, healthspan, and longevity.[1][2]
Exercise endocrinology
The study of exerkines is the focus of the field of exercise endocrinology.[3] Though the existence of exerkines were hypothesized as early as the 1960s,[4] the identification of the first exerkine, IL-6, which is secreted from contracting muscles, occurred in 2000.[5] In 2012 another exerkine, irisin, was discovered and reported to be involved in the regulation of energy expenditure,[6] attracting significant scientific and public attention.[7][8][9] Thousands of potential exerkines have been proposed,[10][11] although few have been studied in depth.[3]
Etymology
'Exerkine' was coined in 2016 by Mark Tarnopolsky and colleagues, based on a portmanteau of 'exercise' and κίνησις (kínēsis, Ancient Greek for 'movement').[1]
