Background: irisin, identified as a proteolytic cleavage product of the fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), It is a novel myokine secreted by contracting skeletal muscle, possibly mediating some exercise health benefits via ‘browning’ of white adipose tissue. Irisin causes a significant increase in total body energy expenditure and resistance to obesity-associated insulin res...
