PALACIO-URIBE, Jorge et al. Myokines: their role in obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.1, pp.77-84. Epub 22-Fev-2022. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000121.
Introduction:
Obesity is one of the main public health problems worldwide being considered as a trigger for multiple cardiometabolic diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cerebral ischemic accident among others. For this reason, it is of interest to know the various pathophysiological factors which depend not only on adiposity but also on muscle mass. Taking into account that the muscle as an endocrine organ corresponds to 40 % of the body weight, the importance that myokines charge as substances of this organ with an anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective character and which are released from muscle contraction is an additional study to perform an adequate Prescription of the exercise.
Objective:
To study the functions of myokines as regulatory substances in various metabolic processes, being essential in body homeostasis.
Method:
It is presented a topic review article, the result of a critical review of the available literature on myokines, their functions and the effects of physical activity and exercise on their release and action.
Conclusions:
that the study of myokines is increasing and is becoming more important clinical. The anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects of myokines depend on the type of training and loads applied to the muscle once subjected to different types of stimulation (aerobic/anaerobic, strength). Therefore, the proper prescription of exercise becomes crucial in the physical conditioning and in the maintenance of the appropriate weight.
