The cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 can increase markedly in the circulation during exercise, but whether the liver is a source of this increase is unknown. The aim of this study was to measure IL-6 flux across the hepatosplanchnic tissues in humans. To elevate systemic concentrations of IL-6, six healthy male subjects performed 120 min of semirecumbent cycling, and blood samples were simultaneously obtained from a brachial artery and the hepatic vein before and during exercise for the analysis of IL-6. Hepatosplanchnic blood flow ( HBF) was measured using the indocyanine green infusion technique. Net hepatosplanchnic IL-6 balance was calculated from these measures. HBF was 1.3 +/- 0.1 l/min at rest and was not reduced throughout exercise, averaging 1.1 +/- 0.2 l/min. Arterial plasma IL-6 markedly increased ( P < 0.05) from 1.8 +/- 0.6 ng/l at rest to 14.3 +/- 3.2 ng/l after 120 min of exercise. The hepatosplanchnic viscera did not contribute to this increase, since there was a net hepatosplanchnic IL-6 uptake ( 0.8 +/- 0.3 vs. 5.5 +/- 1.9 ng/min, rest vs. 120 min; P < 0.05). These data demonstrate that the hepatosplanchnic viscera remove IL-6 from the circulation in humans. This removal may constitute a mechanism limiting the negative chronic metabolic action of chronically elevated circulating IL-6.
