Contrasting data have been reported on the role of irisin, a novel myokine encoded by the FNDC5 gene, in NAFLD pathogenesis. We tested in patients with suspected NASH the association of FNDC5 variants, hepatic expression and circulating irisin with liver damage(F2-F4 fibrosis as main outcome). We also investigated whether irisin modulates hepatocellular fat accumulation and stellate cell activation in experimental models.

Abstract
Contrasting data have been reported on the role of irisin, a novel myokine encoded by the FNDC5 gene, in NAFLD pathogenesis. We tested in patients with suspected NASH the association of FNDC5 variants, hepatic expression and circulating irisin with liver damage(F2-F4 fibrosis as main outcome). We also investigated whether irisin modulates hepatocellular fat accumulation and stellate cell activation in experimental models.File in questo prodotto:
