Serum irisin levels in new-onset type 2 diabetes

TLDR
It is found that serum irisin levels were decreased in T1D patients and inversely associated with newly diagnosed T2D, suggesting that irisin may play a crucial role in glucose intolerance and T2 D.

Irisin Stimulates Browning of White Adipocytes through Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase p38 MAP Kinase and ERK MAP Kinase Signaling

TL;DR: The data suggest that irisin can potentially prevent obesity and associated type 2 diabetes by stimulating expression of WAT browning-specific genes via the p38 MAPK and ERK pathways.

The effects of acute and chronic exercise on PGC-1α, irisin and browning of subcutaneous adipose tissue in humans.

TL;DR: No enhancing effect of long‐term training on circulating irisin levels, and little or no effect of training on browning of subcutaneous white adipose tissue in humans is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating Irisin in Relation to Insulin Resistance and the Metabolic Syndrome

TL;DR: Irisin is associated with increased risk of MetS, cardiometabolic variables, and CVD in humans, indicating either increased secretion by adipose/muscle tissue and/or a compensatory increase of irisin to overcome an underlying irisin resistance in these subjects.

Physiology and role of irisin in glucose homeostasis

TL;DR: This Review presents the current knowledge on the physiology of irisin and its role in glucose homeostasis, and describes the mechanisms involved in the synthesis, secretion, circulation and regulation of irisin, and the controversies regarding the measurement.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

Muscles, exercise and obesity: skeletal muscle as a secretory organ

TL;DR: The finding that the muscle secretome consists of several hundred secreted peptides provides a conceptual basis and a whole new paradigm for understanding how muscles communicate with other organs, such as adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, bones and brain.
