Effects of Exercise Training and IL-6 Receptor Blockade on Gastric Emptying and GLP-1 Secretion in Obese Humans: Secondary Analyses From a Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
BackgroundInterleukin-6 (IL-6) is released from skeletal muscle during exercise and systemic IL-6 levels therefore increase acutely in response to a single bout of exercise.We recently showed that an acute increase in IL-6 delayed gastric emptying rate and improved postprandial glycemia.Here we investigate whether repeated increases in IL-6, induce
