Abstract

Adipocytokines, metabolic syndrome, and exercise.

Highlights

Exercise training or increased physical activity, especially that which is associated with reduced fat mass, corrects the dysfunction in adipokine and cytokine expression so that expression of adiponectin is increased in adipose tissue and production of inflammatory cytokines is reduced [12, 13]
A number of articles in this issue investigate the effects of exercise programs on metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and adipokine and cytokine dysfunction in understudied populations, including children, breast cancer survivors, and those who have had adipose tissue removed through liposuction
This study has two important implications: (1) only a minimal amount of aerobic exercise can reduce metabolic syndrome risk in breast cancer survivors; and (2) it is important to focus on strategies that can increase adherence to exercise programs in this population to derive best results

Summary

Introduction

Exercise training or increased physical activity, especially that which is associated with reduced fat mass, corrects the dysfunction in adipokine and cytokine expression so that expression of adiponectin is increased in adipose tissue and production of inflammatory cytokines is reduced [12, 13]. A number of articles in this issue investigate the effects of exercise programs on metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and adipokine and cytokine dysfunction in understudied populations, including children, breast cancer survivors, and those who have had adipose tissue removed through liposuction. Park review the effects of exercise training programs for alleviating insulin resistance in children.
