Irisin a Novel Metabolic Biomarker: Present Knowledge and Future Directions

Abstract: The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases owing to fat mass excess has been described. In recent years, muscle function/dysfunction has become relevant in metabolic homeostasis. Irisin was described as an exercise-induced myokine. It is the product of type I membrane protein cleavage encoded by the fibronectin type III domain containing 5 (FNDC5) gene. The main beneficial function attributable to irisin is the change of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissu… Show more

“…Irisin is secreted primarily by SkM as well as subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues. However, as showed by immunohistochemical studies, smaller amounts of irisin are also produced by brain, heart, liver, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and testes [ 48 ]. Its level increases in the blood after physical exercise.…”

“…It has been suggested to be involved in glucose metabolism and thermogenesis, with improved glucose tolerance and decreased fasting insulin in mice treated with adenoviral vectors containing the gene that encodes irisin (FNDC5). In the clinical setting, lower levels of irisin have been described in people with type 2 diabetes, regardless of time of diagnosis, age, gender, and body mass index [12], findings that strongly suggest that this myokine could be involved in metabolic regulation.…”

“…Irisin is primarily secreted from skeletal muscles and adipose tissues. However, studies have shown that smaller quantities of irisin are produced from other organs such as the liver, pancreas, stomach, brain, heart, and spleen (Aydin et al, 2014;Martinez Munoz et al, 2018).…”
