<h4>Objective</h4>Skeletal muscle is considered to be an endocrine organ that secretes a number of myokines including follistatin (FST), myostatin (MSTN), activin A, and the newly identified irisin.

The aim of this study is to examine potential associations of irisin with the FST, MSTN, and activin A axis.<h4>Methods</h4>Tw ...[more]
