Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) of myokines. All identified disease and function of myokines were screened individually. Representative cell-cell signaling and interaction of myokines are associated with disease and function. IL-6, Interleukin 6; MSTN, Myostatin; AGXT2, Alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase 2; IL-15, Interleukin -15; FST, Follistatin; ERFE, Myonectin; SPARC, Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine; METRNL, Meteorin Like; BDNF, Brain derived neurotrophic factor.
