The role of irisin in kidney diseases
Clin Chim Acta. 2024 Feb 1;554:117756. doi: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117756. Epub 2024 Jan 12.ABSTRACTIrisin is a hormone that is produced mainly by skeletal muscles in response to exercise. It has been found to have a close correlation with obesity and diabetes mellitus for its energy expenditure and metabolic properties. Recent research has revealed that irisin also possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic properties, which make it associated with major chronic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), liver diseases, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer s disease. The identification of irisi...
