Bone Abstracts

Irisin is a hormone-like myokine secreted from skeletal muscle in response to exercise. Considering that an intimate relationship between skeletal muscle and bone has been well established and that physical exercise physiologically stimulates the skeleton strengthening, we explored the involvement of Irisin on bone metabolism.Our findings demonstrated that the myokine Irisin improves cortical bone mass and geometry in vivo, supporting the idea t...
