Apelin to GDF15: Understanding Exercise-Derived Signaling Molecules in Modulating Metabolic Health

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Today's webinar, led by Ryan Russell from the Exercise Physiology Interest Group Leadership Team, featured expert presenters discussing exercise-derived signaling molecules, including Apelin and Growth Differentiation Factor 15, and their impact on metabolic health modulation. Dr. Minh Du focused on maternal obesity's effects on placental and fetal development, demonstrating how Apelin can improve metabolic health outcomes. Dr. Christopher Axelrod discussed GDF-15's role in enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through interactions between skeletal muscle and the pancreas. He shared insights on the mechanisms involved and potential implications for Type 2 diabetes treatment. Both presenters highlighted the importance of exercise and specific signaling molecules in improving metabolic health outcomes.
