Abstract
Background: Fatty liver disease, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affects around 25% of adults globally and up to 40% in developed countries. Often coexisting with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), NAFLD is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Irisin, a myokine induced by exercise, shows promise in enhancing insulin sensitivity, reducing hepatic steatosis, and improving metabolic health. Despite its potential, further research is needed to fully understand irisin's mechanisms and clinical implications in NAFLD and T2DM.
Objectives: This study investigates the irisin levels in T2DM patients with and without NAFLD and compares them with healthy controls.
Methods: A case-control study has been conducted involving 90 T2DM patients and 90 healthy controls, aged 30-55 years, recruited from SCB Medical College, Cuttack, between September 2021 and August 2022. Participants were screened for NAFLD using the Hepatosis Steatosis Index (HSI) and divided into four groups: T2DM with NAFLD, T2DM without NAFLD, controls with NAFLD, and controls without NAFLD. Serum irisin levels were measured using ELISA. Anthropometric data, physical activity, and various biochemical parameters were assessed and analyzed.
Results: The irisin levels were significantly lower in T2DM patients compared to healthy controls
(p = 0.001). Among T2DM patients, those with NAFLD had lower irisin levels than those without NAFLD, though not statistically significant (p = 0.299). Significant correlations were observed between irisin levels and insulin sensitivity markers such as HOMA-IR and QUICKI across different groups.
Conclusion: Lower irisin levels in T2DM patients, particularly those with NAFLD, highlight its potential role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders. Further research is needed to elucidate irisin's therapeutic implications in T2DM and NAFLD.
