<p>Circulating Irisin Levels as a Marker of Osteosarcopenic-Obesity in Cushing’s Disease</p>
2020
Purpose To evaluate circulating irisin levels in patients with active and controlled Cushing's disease (CD). Design Forty-four patients with CD evaluated during the active phase and after 12 months of biochemical remission and 40 controls were recruited. Methods Phenotypic, anthropometric, hormonal and metabolic parameters, including insulin sensitivity estimation by homeostatic model of insulin resistance, Matsuda index and oral disposition index and circulating irisin levels were evaluated. Results Patients with active CD showed lower irisin levels compared to controls (p<0.001) and controlled CD (p<0.001). The independent variables significantly associated with irisin were waist circumf…
