The Role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 and Irisin in the Pathogenesis of Obesity in Childhood and Adolescence

Karampatsou Sofia-Iliada , Genitsaridi Sofia-Maria , Papageorgiou Ifigeneia , Charmandari Evangelia

Background: Obesity in childhood and adolescence represents a major health problem that reached epidemic proportions in the last decades. Obesity is characterized by an increase in the adipose tissue, which leads to chronic inflammation and release of adipokines, like Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21). On the other hand, intense exercise results in decreased adipose tissue, which leads to the release of proteins, the myokines, like irisin. In obesity a resistance in FGF21 an...
