Summary

Irisin, a newly discovered myokine induced in exercise, has potential effects in stimulating adipose tissue browning, fighting obesity and diabetes. No prior study has reported on the role of circulating irisin in healthy individuals in correlation with lean and fat body mass. Furthermore, the circadian and seasonal variation of irisin is largely unknown.
