Article Synopsis
- Irisin, a peptide released from skeletal muscle during exercise, may significantly influence energy metabolism and interacts with thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolic rates.
- Central administration of irisin to rats for 7 days increased food intake without altering body weight, indicating its potential role in energy regulation.
- The study found that irisin administration decreased levels of key thyroid hormones and gene expression related to the hypothalamus while also enhancing thermogenic activity in adipose and muscle tissues, suggesting its complex role in energy balance.
Irisin, a novel exercise-induced myokine, has attracted attention with its effects on energy metabolism. This study was conducted to determine the possible effects of irisin on nutritional behaviour. In this study, 40 male Wistar Albino rats were separated into 4 groups (n=10 for each group).
