SCOPE

Exercise and muscle functional capacity are important predictors of age-related mortality in humans. The molecular mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of exercise against multiple diseases (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, etc) have recently started to be explored. Because of its high metabolic rate during exercise, muscle has a profound influence on body metabolism. The concept that muscle is an endocrine organ able to release molecules (myokines) is quiet new and opens exciting fields to explore, most importantly, the search for novel molecules from exercised muscle with therapeutic potential against various metabolic diseases.
