Myokines are signaling molecules produced and released by skeletal muscles during contraction or exercise. They play a crucial role in intercellular communication, influencing various physiological processes such as metabolism, inflammation, and muscle repair. Myokines can affect not only muscle tissue but also other organs, including the brain, liver, and adipose tissue, contributing to overall health and disease prevention. Examples of myokines include interleukin-6 (IL-6) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
