| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Irisin is a newly discovered myokine. We aimed to examine to the association of serum irisin and obesity, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis. In a community-based apparently healthy adults aged 40-79 years, serum irisin was inversely associated with obesity and lipid indices. In addition, serum irisin was inversely associated with progression of coronary artery calcification independent of confounders including obesity, lipid, and diabetes parameters. Future studies are needed to assess whether irisin is protectively associated with cardiometabolic disease.
