Abstract:Introduction: Physical exercise can activate important biochemical processes in the human body, one of which is a myokine called irisin.
Objective: This review aims to identify the effect of exercise on the expression of FNDC5/irisin, a myokine secreted by skeletal muscles that is produced in response to physical activity. This hormone provides a protective function in the central nervous system, specifically the hippocampus. The effects of exercise on the brain are well known, but the duration, intensity an… Show more
