IL-6 is an exercise-regulated myokine that has been suggested to increase lipolysis in fast-twitch skeletal muscle. However, it is not known if a similar effect is present in slow-twitch muscle. Furthermore, epinephrine increases IL-6 secretion from skeletal muscle, suggesting that IL-6 could play a role in mediating the lipolytic effects of catecholamines. The purpose of this study was to determine whether IL-6...
