Your muscles when working produce myokines. Myokines allow muscle to communicate with many other tissues in our body. For example, the receptors of myokines are found in fat, liver, pancreas, bone, heart, immune, and brain cells. Myokines are responsible for tissue regeneration and repair, maintaining healthy bodily functioning, and cell signaling.

A significant example is in relation to insulin sensitivity [ https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/9/4636 ].
