Expression and Function of Synthetic Dimeric Exercise-Induced Cytokine Irisin-Irisin
康复学报, 2023 ObjectiveStudies have shown that the exercise-induced cytokine Irisin functions were as a dimer, so tandem Irisin-Irisin mock dimers were designed to explore the similarities and differences between recombinant Irisin-Irisin expressed by Escherichia coli

Irisin in Liver Cirrhosis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2020 Background: Sarcopenia is a prevalent muscle abnormality characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, common among patients with decompensated advanced chronic liver disease (dACLD). Irisin is a recently identified myokine, which is mainly expressed and secreted by skeletal muscle.

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2013 In January 2012, Boström and colleagues identified a new muscle tissue secreted peptide, which they named irisin, to highlight its role as a messenger that comes from skeletal muscle to other parts of the body. Irisin is a cleaved and secreted fragment of FNDC5 (also known as FRCP2 and PeP), a member of fibronectin type III repeat containing gene ...

Irisin—A Pancreatic Islet Hormone [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2022 Irisin is a myokine involved in glucose homeostasis. It is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle, but also in the pancreas. This study aimed to elucidate its presence and role in the islets of Langerhans—i.e., its effect on insulin and glucagon secretion as well as on blood flow in the pancreas.

Irisin: ‘fat’ or artefact [PDF]
Clinical Endocrinology, 2014 SummarySoon after the discovery of the muscle‐derived factor irisin, a great controversy arose in the literature regarding certain inconsistencies in the regulation of the fibronectin type III domain containing 5 protein (FNDC5/irisin) after exercise, as well as the unpredicted association of circulating irisin levels with parameters of adiposity in ...

Irisin and Autophagy: First Update [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Aging and sedentary life style are considered independent risk factors for many disorders. Under these conditions, accumulation of dysfunctional and damaged cellular proteins and organelles occurs, resulting in a cellular degeneration and cell death. Autophagy is a conserved recycling pathway responsible for the degradation, then turnover of cellular ...

Diabetes, 2014 Increasing energy expenditure is an attractive approach to fighting the worldwide epidemic in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Exercise is an important component of good health and represents the first line of therapy for humans with a variety of metabolic disorders: obesity, diabetes, and nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis. Recent data has shown that exercise,

FNDC5/Irisin: Physiology and Pathophysiology [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 A sedentary lifestyle or lack of physical activity increases the risk of different diseases, including obesity, diabetes, heart diseases, certain types of cancers, and some neurological diseases. Physical exercise helps improve quality of life and reduces the risk of many diseases. Irisin, a hormone induced by exercise, is a fragmented product of FNDC5

Irisin, Exercise, and COVID-19
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Muscle and adipose tissue produce irisin during exercise. Irisin is thermogenic adipomyokine, improves glucose and lipid metabolism, and ameliorates the effects of obesity-driven inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. In addition, exercise-induced irisin activates anti-inflammatory pathways and may play an essential role in improving the ...
