Fig 1. Two-compartment description of the IL-6 dynamics during exercise.

Fig 1

Skeletal muscle secretes IL-6 in the local (muscle) blood flow (IL6m(t)) in response to change in oxygen consumption (PVO2max) with a secretion rate equal to SRex. Plasma IL-6 (IL6p(t)) is the result of adipose tissue secretion (RaIL6), hepatosplanchnic viscera removal (ke) and contribution coming from muscle compartment (through km).
