irisins

Irisins are a class of proteins that are produced by the human body and have been shown to have various biological effects. They are named after Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow, due to their diverse functions. Irisins are produced by the muscle tissue in response to exercise and are released into the bloodstream. They have been found to have anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-aging effects. Irisins have also been shown to have potential benefits for cardiovascular health, including reducing blood pressure and improving endothelial function. Additionally, irisin has been found to have neuroprotective effects and may play a role in cognitive function. Irisins are produced by the enzyme myostatin, which is found in muscle tissue. The production of irisin is increased by exercise, and it has been suggested that regular physical activity may help to maintain irisin levels and promote overall health. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and mechanisms of action of irisin.
