Objective: Lack of energy, fatigue, debility are often seen in depression and hardly respond to treatment. Finding some biomarkers for these symptoms may be important for diagnosis and treatment. We aimed to investigate the possible relationship between depression and energy-related molecules irisin, adropin and preptin.

Methods: There were 117 patients with depression and 59 healthy volunteers included in the study. Sociodemographic characteristics and clinical features of groups were evaluated, and depressed patients were divided into subtypes, then irisin, adropin, preptin levels were compared between depressive patients and healthy controls and between subtypes. Depression severity, quality of life, functionality and the relations with irisin, adropin and preptin levels and associations between depression subtypes were evaluated.

Results: Irisin, adropin, and preptin levels were lower in depression, positively correlated with quality of life, and negatively correlated with depression severity and functional impairment. Depression subtypes showed no difference in irisin, adropin and preptin levels.

Conclusions: We found decreased serum irisin, adropin and preptin levels in depression. Our results may support investigation of irisin, adropin and preptin as biomarkers for depression but it might be more meaningful to evaluate these biomarkers in a long-term follow-up.

Introduction: Although contrast-induced (CI) acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in high-risk individuals requiring evaluation with contrast-enhanced angiography, the possible predictors of CI-AKI in patients with obesity are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to elucidate plausible factors associated with the irreversibility of CI-AKI in individuals with obesity undergoing contrast-enhanced computed tomography coronary angiography.

Methods: A total of 96 adult patients with obesity and the KDIGO criteria of CI-AKI (increase of serum levels of creatinine ≥ 25% or ≥ 500 µmol/L at 48 h after procedure) were retrospectively screened from the cohort of 1833 patients who underwent iodine contrast medium (ICM)-enhanced computed tomography coronary angiography, and were included in the study.

Background: Alterations in the circulating concentrations and target-tissue action of organokines underpin the development of insulin resistance in microgravity and gravity deprivation. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in circulating adropin, irisin, retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4), and the metabolic response of healthy young males following 60 days of 6° head-down-tilt (HDT) bed rest, with and without reactive jump training (RJT), to explore links with whole-body and tissue-specific insulin sensitivity. To our knowledge, this is the first time that adropin, irisin, and RBP4 have been studied in HDT bed rest.

Background: A combination of genetic and environmental factors contribute to the highly common, complex, and varied endocrine condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. PCOS primarily affects women between the ages of 15 and 35 who are in the early to late stages of pregnancy. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of irisin, subfatin, and adropin in PCOS with and without obesity compared to the control group.

This narrative review was conducted due to uncertainty in predicting the beneficial impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on a dip of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), regardless of albuminuria presence, with the aim of elucidating plausible predictors of kidney function outcome among patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched in May 2023 for relevant articles published in English between 2013 and 2023. A total of 25 full-length scientific publications (comprising 11 large randomized trials and two cohort studies) were included for analysis.

Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have a favorable impact on the kidney function in patients with heart failure (HF), while there is no clear evidence of what factors predict this effect. The aim of the study was to identify plausible predictors for kidney function outcome among patients with HF and investigate their association with SGLT2i.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled 480 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with diet and metformin and concomitant chronic HF and followed them for 52 weeks.
