An energy crisis (e.g. glycogen depletion) or tissue damage in exercising skeletal muscle may provide the signal for increased IL-6 production and release. The elevated plasma IL-6 concentration then stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis and glucose release, helping to maintain blood glucose homeostasis. IL-6 also promotes acute phase protein and insulin-like growth factor synthesis, which may play a role in muscle adaptation to exercise.
