Irisin mRNA and circulating levels in relation to other myokines in healthy and morbidly obese humans.

Abstract Skeletal muscle is considered to be an endocrine organ that secretes a number of myokines including follistatin (FST), myostatin (MSTN), activin A, and the newly identified irisin. Irisin's biology…
