Popis: Physical exercise plays an important role in both the prevention and treatment of cardiometabolic diseases. Peptides secreted or released from skeletal muscle, so-called myokines, contribute to the beneficial anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects of increased muscle activity and may, therefore, counteract pathomechanisms of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) [1]. However, the impact of myokines including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-13, IL-15, angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4), fibroblast growth factors (FGF)-2, FGF-21, and irisin on altered organ cross-talk in cardiometabolic diseases is still poorly understood [1]. Irisin has been described as a protein released from skeletal muscle after physical activity [2] which may, in rodents and more controversially discussed in humans [1], mediate browning of white adipose tissue. Although the existence of circulating human irisin has even been questioned because human FNDC5 has a noncanonical ATA translation start, irisin has been detected in human plasma using mass spectrometry with appropriate control peptides [3]. IL-15 increases upon both aerobic and resistance exercise and exerts beneficial metabolic effects in patients with obesity and T2D [1]. IL-15 inhibits lipogenesis, induces fat oxidation, enhances energy expenditure, and improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism [4]. To better understand the potential role of these myokines in T2D, we tested the hypotheses that IL-15 and irisin serum concentrations correlate with cardiometabolic risk parameters and are different in subgroups of T2D patients with or without diabetes complications independently of ethnicity.
