Serum Irisin and Oxytocin Levels as Predictors of Metabolic Parameters in Obese Children

Abstract: Objective:Irisin and oxytocin can affect energy homeostasis and it has been suggested that they may play an important role in reducing obesity and diabetes. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between metabolic parameters (including irisin and oxytocin levels) and anthropometric parameters in obese children.Methods:Ninety obese children (mean age, 13.85±1.63 years) and 30 healthy controls (mean age, 14.32±1.58 years) were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric and laboratory parameters (gluco… Show more

“…The notion that elevated body fat impairs the glucoregulatory efficacy of oxytocin relates to the question of endogenous oxytocin release in metabolic disorders. While lower oxytocin concentrations were found in obese compared with normal‐weight adults and children, oxytocin levels have also been found to be proportional to body weight . In a large sample of men with metabolic syndrome, oxytocin concentrations were elevated compared with healthy controls, whereas the obese subjects of the present experiment displayed lower baseline oxytocin levels than their lean counterparts.…”

“…In a large sample of men with metabolic syndrome, oxytocin concentrations were elevated compared with healthy controls, whereas the obese subjects of the present experiment displayed lower baseline oxytocin levels than their lean counterparts. Decreased oxytocin concentrations were reported in patients with metabolic syndrome or diabetes mellitus, suggesting a certain degree of oxytocin deficiency in diabetic patients . However, our preliminary finding of a positive relationship between HOMA‐IR and baseline oxytocin concentrations in the obese subjects argues against this assumption.…”

“…Therefore, it was not clear if the observed difference in oxytocin was due to obesity per se . In fact, subgroup analyses in the same study revealed that the children and adolescents with obesity and metabolic syndrome had significantly lower fasting oxytocin compared with those that had obesity without metabolic syndrome , supporting the notion that dysglycaemia may be a key factor in the lowering of plasma oxytocin concentrations in obesity.…”
