Background: Irisin is a myokine involved in the browning of adipocytes, regulation of body composition, and enhancement of glycemic control. Additionally, irisin has been suggested to play a role in the signaling mechanisms associated with activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and the onset of puberty. Given the reported relationship between irisin levels and glycemic control, as well as the link between body composition and glycemic control, w...

Context: Premature adrenarche (PA) could pose an increased risk of obesity and metabolic derangements in adolescence and early adulthood. However, little is known about the body composition of children with PA and its association to the development of adverse metabolic outcomes.Aim: To describe the body composition of children with PA and explore the interaction between PA and metabolic syndrome components.<p class="...
