Bone-derived cytokines refer to various proteins and peptides that are released from the skeleton and can distribute in organisms to regulate homeostasis by targeting many organs, such as the pancreas, brain, testicles, and kidneys. In addition to providing support and movement, many studies have disclosed the novel endocrine function of bone, and bone can modulate glucose and energy metabolism as well as phosphate metabolism by versatile bone-derived cytokines. However, this specific exoskeletonfunction of bone-derived cytokines in the regulation of homeostasis and the pathological response caused by skeletal dysfunction are still not very clear, and elucidation of the above mechanisms is of great significance for understanding the pathological processes of metabolic disorders and in the search for novel therapeutic measures for maintaining organ stability and physical fitness.

Electrical stimulation-induced muscle contraction (ESMC) has demonstrated various physiological benefits, but its effects on the secretion of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), a bone-derived cytokine, remain unclear. This study explored the relationship between ESMC, bone strain, and ucOC secretion through two experiments. In the first, young male Fischer 344 rats were divided into three groups: low-frequency ES (LF, 10 Hz), high-frequency ES (HF, 100 Hz), and control (CON).

Metabolic syndrome (MetS), as a set of medical conditions including hyperglycemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and dyslipidemia, represents a highly prevalent disease cluster worldwide. The individual components of MetS together increase the risk of MetS-related disorders. Recent research has demonstrated that bone, as an endocrine organ, releases several systemic cytokines (osteokines), including fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), lipocalin 2 (LCN2), and sclerostin (SCL).

Purpose Of Review: To critically summarize evidence on the potential role of osteokines in the pathogenesis and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Recent Findings: There are emerging data supporting that certain osteokines, which are specific bone-derived proteins, may beneficially or adversely affect hepatic metabolism, and their alterations in the setting of osteoporosis or other bone metabolic diseases may possibly contribute to the development and progression of NAFLD. There is evidence showing a potential bidirectional association between NAFLD and bone metabolism, which may imply the existence of a liver-bone axis.

Bone is a dynamic tissue reshaped by constant bone formation and bone resorption to maintain its function. The skeletal system accounts for approximately 70% of the total volume of the body, and continuous bone remodeling requires quantities of energy and material consumption. Adipose tissue is the main energy storehouse of the body and has a strong adaptive capacity to participate in the regulation of various physiological processes.
