Background & Aims Obesity is closely related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),
which has become an important public health problem because of its high prevalence and
association with metabolic syndromes. Irisin was recently identified as a novel peptide to
improve obesity and glucose homeostasis, and considered to be therapeutic for human
metabolic diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the association of serum irisin
concentration and liver triglyceride contents in obese Chinese adults. Methods Serum irisin …
