Unveiling the Potential of Irisin Hormone
The Cognitive Benefits of Irisin: Unraveling the Link Between Exercise and Brain Function
Exploring the Therapeutic Effects of Irisin on Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitive Function
Irisin is a naturally occurring hormone primarily produced by the muscles during exercise. Recently, it has gained a lot of attention in the scientific community. As most of us have already taken the close relationship between physical exercise and mental function, the attention this hormone has earned recently is not unsubstantiated. So, let us dive into the details of Irisin and its cognitive benefits.
The results of investigations published in Nature Metabolism point to the therapeutic effectiveness of Irisin in improving brain dysfunction associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The hormone seems to spur the cognitive benefits of physical exercise, holding potential promise for slowing down cognition deterioration among those fighting Alzheimer's disease. Although definitive investigations are still needed to nail down the efficacy of these claims, the demonstration of these findings in animal studies has been impressive.
In a series of studies in mice, researchers deleted the gene responsible for…
