The authors point out one caveat in their methods — that some irisin is lost during sample preparation, and therefore the amount of irisin detected is, if anything, a slight underestimation.

When mice were injected with irisin or viruses engineered to express irisin, the team found significant increases in bone volume and thickness compared to mice treated with saline.

Two recent studies pointed to possible flaws in the methods used to identify irisin, with commercially available antibodies.

The study, appearing March 9 in the journal Scientific Reports, directly tested the antibodies used in previous analyses and showed that they cross-reacted with proteins other than irisin, yielding a false positive result.

Furthermore, none of the proteins detected by these test kits in any human or animal blood samples were the correct size to be irisin.

In addition, recombinant irisin has also been shown to suppress sclerostin, a protein that is involved in bone loss during prolonged lack of mechanical load, such as in bed - ridden patientIn addition, recombinant irisin has also been shown to suppress sclerostin, a protein that is involved in bone loss during prolonged lack of mechanical load, such as in bed - ridden patientin bone loss during prolonged lack of mechanical load, such as in bed - ridden patientin bed - ridden patients.

The researchers believe that their findings dispute all previous data obtained with commercial ELISA kits for irisin and make it unlikely that the hormone plays a physiological role in humans.

Now Chunyu Zeng at the Third Military Medical University in China and his team have found that this process works by stimulating muscles to release a hormone called irisin.

On the other hand, mice genetically altered to have low irisin levels in the brain had reduced levels of BDNF.

The authors show that human irisin is similar to the mouse hormone and that it circulates in the range previously reported.

These researchers argue that the irisin levels reported by commercial kits were actually due to unknown blood proteins, misconstruing the role of the hormone in human metabolism.

Irisin, a hormone linked to the positive benefits of exercise, was recently questioned to exist in humans.

Increased irisin levels in circulation upon systemic administration can recapitulate part of the beneficial effects of exercise in the skeletal system,» said senior study author Jake Chen, D.M.D., M.D.S., Ph.D., professor and biological sciences researcher at TUSDM.

This possibility is not exclusive to myostatin, because the cytokine interleukin - 6 (IL - 6) also plays a critical role in exercise - induced muscle hypertrophy, and the secreted hormone irisin is released in response to exercise and promotes energy expenditure (57).

Altogether, these results suggest that the PGC - 1α / FNDC5 / BDNF pathway is heavily implicated in the development of primary hippocampal neurons following physical activity and that the administration of Irisin could be a very promising therapeutic option against neurodegeneration.
