Effects of 12-week exercise on Meteorin-like levels, inflammation, and functional capacity in older adults: Korean national aging project randomized controlled study.
Abstract
Meteorin-like protein (Metrnl) is involved in regulating inflammation, metabolism, and muscle regeneration, making it a promising therapeutic target. Building on prior research, we investigated how exercise-induced changes in Metrnl relate to inflammatory markers, physical function, and cognitive performance. This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a 12-week exercise intervention on circulating Metrnl, a novel biomarker, in 90 community-dwelling older adults (≥ 65 years).

Research summary
The paper claims that a 12-week exercise intervention increases circulating Meteorin-like protein levels, which may relate to improved inflammation and functional capacity in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores the role of a novel biomarker in the context of exercise and its potential implications for aging and age-related functional decline.
