摘要
Metabolic syndrome(MetS)is a cluster of risk factors for various metabolic diseases,and it is characterized by central obesity,dyslipidemia,hypertension,and insulin resistance.The core component for MetS is adipose tissue,which releases adipokines and influences physical health.Adipokines consist of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and contribute to various physiological functions.Generally,a sedentary lifestyle promotes fat accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory adipokines.However,regular exercise has been known to exert various beneficial effects on metabolic and cognitive disorders.Although the mechanisms underlying exercise beneficial effects in MetS are not fully understood,changes in energy expenditure,fat accumulation,circulatory level of myokines,and adipokines might be involved.This review article focuses on some of the selected adipokines in MetS,and their responses to exercise training considering possible mechanisms.
