1	17465332	From an analysis of the actions of IL-6 and of additional literature, we postulate that skeletal muscle also secretes an unidentified hormone, which we have named Musculin (Latin: musculus = muscle), which acts on the pancreatic beta-cell to restrain the size of the (beta-cell mass and to tonically inhibit insulin secretion and biosynthesis.
2	17465332	It is suggested that the amount of Musculin secreted is determined by, and is positively correlated with, the prevailing insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle, thereby accounting for the hyperinsulinemia that occurs in insulin resistant disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and the polycystic ovary syndrome.
3	20981396	The bone marrow (BM) niche contains small heterogenous populations of cells which may contribute to cardiac and endothelial repair, including committed lineages [endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and more primitive very small embryonic-like cells (VSELs) expressing pluripotent stem cell (PSC) markers (Oct-4, Nanog, SSEA-1)].
