Is Interleukin-6 the 'holy grail' of exercise mediation?
... no evidence that either is actually the source of these problems. Indeed, it's possible, for instance, that IL-6 expression may be up-regulated in insulin resistant skeletal muscle in an attempt to overcome the impaired glucose uptake. And in other contexts, the current thinking is that IL-6 has primarily...New study will tackle three major killer diseases
