Elevated circulating irisin is associated with lower risk of insulin resistance: association and path analyses of obese Chinese adults

Abstract: BackgroundEvidence on the role of irisin in insulin resistance is limited and controversial, and pathways between them remain unknown. We aimed to examine the independent effects of circulating irisin and different adiposity measurements, as well as their potential interactions, on insulin resistance. We also aimed to explore possible pathways among circulating irisin, adiposity, glucose and insulin levels and insulin resistance.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 1,115 community- living obese Chinese adults, wi… Show more

“…33 Our study was the first to show that CPAP over 3 months could increase irisin level modestly after controlling the obesity factor. Elevated irisin was shown to be associated with lower risk of insulin resistance 34 and the compositions of skeletal muscle and visceral fat. 35 Further studies will help to clarify the association of irisin in OSA and its effect after CPAP.…”
