Brief Summary

Irisin is an exercise-mimetic myokine secreted by skeletal muscle. Compelling evidence in animal models and humans showed that Irisin prevents onset of musculoskeletal atrophy and its low serum levels are predictive of sarcopenia. The investigators evaluated the levels of irisin in patients affected by an hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, namely Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), in order to investigate possible key determinants of their muscle quality and possibly prevent the progressive distal weakness and muscle atrophy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Irisin level assessment

    Irisin levels in the blood at enrollment

    At enrollment

  • muscle mass assessment

    Muscle mass determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis

    At enrollment

  • muscle strenght assessment

    Muscle strenght by handgrip dynamometer

    At enrollment

  • muscle quality assessment

    Muscle quality determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis

    At enrollment

  • Correlation between irisin levels and muscle mass, muscle strenght, and muscle quality

    Correlation determined by Pearson's correlation for linear regression analysis

    Immediately after enrollment

Interventions

The measurement of body composition was performed using Bioimpedance (BIA 101, Akern srl, Pontassieve (FI), Italy). The handgrip dynamometer (Jamar, Sammons Preston, Bolingbrook, IL, USA) was used to determine the isometric force of the forearm.

Serum samples were assayed for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh), creatine phosphokinase (Cpk), creatine kinase myocardial band (Ckmmb), myoglobin, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), 25(OH)-Vitamin D, osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase (b-ALP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), haptoglobin, sclerostin, myostatin, and Irisin. Irisin serum concentrations were detected using a competitive ELISA kit (AdipoGen, Liestal, Switzerland)
