EYLEMDE MYOKİNLERİN ROLÜ
THE ROLE OF MYOKINES IN EXERCISE

Summary/Abstract: It is known that exercise training, other than helping to improve physical fitness, struggles against geriatric syndromes along with chronic diseases like diabetics. Exercise is labelled as the “natural medicine” in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Another important aspect of doing physical exercise is its connection with the improvement of muscle and skeleton health which is linked with a developed state of health and life standard. Most of these beneficial effects are thought to be linked directly with myokines or with therapeutic approaches using myokine derivations. Myokines are the factors produced and secreted by muscle cells. These productions act as “recovery” factors which could be harmful in non pathological situations. In this regard, the term of “exercise-induced myokines” is not clear enough as it may refer both to processes stimulated with acute exercise and exercise training, and it is known that new studies are required to be made by the researchers.
