General description
Irisin is a recently described exercise-induced hormone secreted by skeletal muscle in mice and humans. Irisin is cleaved from the type I membrane protein FNDC5 (fibronectin type III domain containing 5). FNDC5 is mainly expressed in the muscles. Low levels of the mRNA are also present in the kidney, liver and lung. The gene FNDC5 is mapped to human chromosome 1p35.1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Irisin activates beige fat cells (beige cells have a gene expression pattern distinct from either white or brown fat and are preferentially sensitive to the polypeptide hormone Irisin) and improves systemic metabolism by increasing energy expenditure. It is mainly responsible for the conversion of white fat into brown fat. This conversion enhances metabolic uncoupling and caloric expenditure. Irisin is always associated with beneficial responses of exercise on cellular metabolism. In obese and type 2 diabetic patients, low levels of circulating irisin are characteristic of the adipose tissue and muscle.

Physical exercise favors weight loss and ameliorates articular pain and function in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. Irisin, a myokine released upon muscle contraction, has demonstrated to yield anabolic effects on different cell types. This study aimed to investigate the effect
