Objective: Irisin, a novel myokine which is proteolytically processed from the product of the FNDC5 gene, has been
proposed to mediate beneficial effects on metabolism by inducing browning of subcutaneous adipocytes and upregulation
of uncoupling protein1 level in experimental mice. In humans, circulating irisin level was significantly decreased
in obese and diabetic patients. However, the role of irisin in humans is not clearly elucidated. We therefore, examined
circulating irisin level and its associations with various complications of diabetes.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of 161 diabetic individuals followed up for approximately 11
years. Baseline circulating plasma level of irisin was measured using commercially available EIA kit (Phoenix pharmaceuticals
(ng/ml)). The associations between the circulating irisin with variable metabolic parameters, microvascular
and macrovascular complications were evaluated.
Results: Total 161 patients (n=14, type 1 diabetes, n=147 type 2 diabetes, mean age 43,6±4.6, 66.8±10.4 respectively)
were analyzed. There were no significant associations with circulating irisin levels with gender difference, the type
of diabetes, body mass index, age, Patients with hypertension (n= 66) showed significantly decreased level of circulating
irisin (649.09±661.9 vs 884.01±792.27, p=0.04). There was no significant difference in irisin level among the
CKD stages (using CKD-EPI equation), however there was a trend toward decrement as the stage advanced. (stage
1 (n=62) 806.97±793.70, stage 2 (n=58) 925.31±849.83, stage 3a (n=20) 690.75±522.96, stage 3b (n=12) 547.5±
460.7, stage 4 (n=5) 627.30±464.73, stage 5 (n=4) 207.48±75.89). Binary logistic regression was performed to
evaluate the relative risks of irisin level with the development of micro- and macrovascular complications. The irisin
level did not affect the risks of macrovascular complications. However, increased level of irisin (log irisin) significantly
decreased the risk of retinopathy (Unadjusted RR 0.688, 95% CI 0.516-0.918, p=0.01, Adjusted RR 0.677, 95% CI
0.487-0.942, p=0.02).
Discussion: Circulating irisin level of diabetic patients was not affected by renal insufficiency nor did not affect
diabetic nephropathy. It might have a predictive role in diabetic retinopathy. |
