Adipo-Myokines: Two Sides of the Same Coin—Mediators of Inflammation and Mediators of Exercise

Figure 1

Adipokines, myokines, and adipo-myokines. A search of original articles in pubMed was performed for all myokines described in Table 1 to identify myokines that were also secreted by adipocytes. The search terms used were “adipose tissue,” “adipocyte,” and the indicated cytokine/protein. Reference lists of identified articles were also used to search for further papers. Indicated references published data that the cytokines/proteins are secreted or not secreted by adipocytes or adipose tissue. No data was published on the secretion of LIF and irisin from adipocytes or adipose tissue.
