Irisin prevents and restores bone loss and muscle atrophy in hind-limb suspended mice

Abstract We previously showed that Irisin, a myokine released from skeletal muscle after physical exercise, plays a central role in the control of bone mass. Here we report that treatment with recombinant Irisin prevented bone loss in hind-limb suspended mice when administered during suspension (pre...
