Abstract
Metabolites in exercise have traditionally been viewed as a fuel source, waste product, or anabolic components required for exercise-induced biosynthetic processes. However, it is now recognised that metabolites and lipids may act as mediators of interorgan crosstalk to coordinate the local and systemic physiological adaptations required to meet the complex system-wide challenge of exercise. These bioactive metabolite and lipid signals have been termed metabokines and lipokines, respectively. There is emerging evidence that metabokines and lipokines contribute to the health benefits of exercise. This review highlights several of the key recent discoveries related to metabokine and lipokine signalling during exercise. The discovery of these metabokines and lipokines, and their signalling targets, may provide the basis of future therapies for human disease.
