I’ve been searching a big on Apelin to learn more. Here is one quote from the book “[Defying Aging](https://www.amazon.com/Defy-Aging-Beginners-Science-Longer/dp/1538155141)” > “Another important myokine is called apelin. Of course, its levels decline with age but are boosted by exercise. Its effects read like a fountain of youth: stimulating production of new mitochondria, facilitating protein synthesis, and helping muscle stem cells to function.14 > Our skeletal muscles suck up a large proportion of the sugar circulating in the blood. As we lose muscle, blood sugar levels can rise contributing to an age-related risk for type 2 diabetes. Conversely, exercise stabilizes blood sugar levels.1” From the sounds of it, it will be competitive with drugs being developed that target Irisin: [Irisin Ameliorates Age-associated Sarcopenia and Metabolic Dysfunction](https://www.rapamycin.news/t/irisin-ameliorates-age-associated-sarcopenia-and-metabolic-dysfunction/4453) ## Effect of endurance training on skeletal muscle myokine expression in obese men: identification of apelin as a novel myokine [Apelin\_ijo.2013.158.pdf](https://www.rapamycin.news/uploads/short-url/y1WNEAu1powP9RqXXZo2Xp7yJ4c.pdf) (1.2 MB) --- _[View the full topic](https://www.rapamycin.news/t/bioage-results-for-phase-1b-clinical-trial-on-anti-muscle-aging-drug/5110)._
