“…Exercise is a crucial part of the lifestyle adjustment that can help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although the mechanism underlying this exercise-induced liver fat reduction was unknown, it was shown that plasma irisin levels negatively correlated with intrahepatic triglyceride levels, indicating that irisin may play a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD (31) . Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and low high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are markedly elevated in the atherogenic lipid profile of patients with fatty liver disease.…”

The chance of developing several illnesses, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer, and some neurological conditions, is increased by a sedentary lifestyle or a lack of exercise. Exercise lowers the risk of numerous diseases and helps to enhance quality of life. Irisin, a hormone released during exercise that connects muscles to other tissues, is a fragment of the cell membrane protein FNDC5. Over the past ten years, it has become abundantly clear that irisin is a molecular mimic of exercise and has a variety of advantageous effects, such as browning of adipocytes, alteration of metabolic processes, control of bone metabolism, and nervous system function. Irisin plays a part in the development of cancer; various studies have demonstrated how it affects the invasion, migration, and growth of cancer cells. Irisin's receptor is not fully understood, however, it probably works through a specific family of integrin receptors in some tissues. In this article, we examine recent studies, which suggest that irisin may be a useful therapeutic agent for the treatment or prevention of a number of disorders with a metabolic component. This paper describes the irisin's biochemical and structural characteristics and offers information on how irisin functions in various clinical circumstances.
