Irisin Gene Delivery Elicits Sustained Amelioration of Diabetes in Akita Mice via Insulin-Independent Regulation of Hepatic Glucose Metabolism.
ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS The exercise-induced hormone irisin plays an important role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis; however, its underlying mechanisms under insulin-deficient conditions remain unclear. We investigated whether irisin can directly regulate hepatic glucose metabolism and manage diabetic phenotypes in...
