At CIM, we have identified skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ. We
have further suggested that cytokines and other peptides that are produced,
expressed, and released by muscle fibers and exert either paracrine or
endocrine effects should be classified as "myokines".
CIM aims at identifying new myokines and will examine the interaction
between muscle, adipose tissue, and brain.
CIM is located at Rigshospitalet
and cooperates closely with the University
of Copenhagen and the University
of Southern Denmark.
