Beyond cataloging individual factors, emerging evidence suggests that muscle-derived signals can convey information through an integrated, context-dependent \u201cendocrine code\u201d\u2014a pattern defined by secretion kinetics, co-released signal combinations, delivery modalities, and target-tissue receptor landscapes. This review synthesizes current evidence on (i) conceptual and experimental criteria for defining bona fide myokines, (ii) mechanisms governing myokine expression, processing, and release across exercise modes and physiological states, and (iii) major muscle\u2013organ axes that connect physical activity to systemic metabolic homeostasis, immune remodeling, tissue regeneration, and neurocognitive adaptation. We further discuss non-protein mediators such as lactate, succinate, and \u03b2-aminoisobutyric acid, and highlight EVs as a multiplexed delivery modality whose interpretation requires stringent isolation, contamination controls, and functional validation. Finally, we evaluate translational opportunities\u2014including biomarker panels, therapeutic targeting of the myostatin\/activin, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) pathways, and precision exercise prescriptions informed by multi-omics and artificial intelligence\u2014while emphasizing analytical standardization, causal validation, and transparent reporting as prerequisites for clinical impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells15040318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,9]],"date-time":"2026-02-09T10:45:31Z","timestamp":1770633931000},"page":"318","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Decoding the Endocrine Code of Skeletal Muscle: Myokines, Exerkines, and Inter-Organ Crosstalk in Metabolic Health and Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8571-2722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young-Sool","family":"Hah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeongyun","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence Medical Sciences, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52725, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung-Jun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Convergence Medical Sciences, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52725, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9267-9158","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung-Jin","family":"Kwag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1337","DOI":"10.1002\/j.2040-4603.2013.tb00522.x","article-title":"Muscle as a secretory organ","volume":"3","author":"Pedersen","year":"2013","journal-title":"Compr.
