Abstract

ABSTRACT: Autophagic dysregulation contributes to liver diseases. Although some investigations have examined the effects of endurance and resistance exercise on autophagy activation, potential myokines responsible for skeletal muscle-liver crosstalk are still unknown. Based on experimental studies and bioinformatics, we hypothesized that interleukin-6 (IL6) and irisin might be key players in the contraction-induced release of molecules that regulate liver autophagic responses.
