Background and aims: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from a severe autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which renders patients insulin-dependent for life. The triggering of autoimmunity against beta cells is caused by a complex interaction between environmental, genetic and epigenetic risk factors. Although significant progress has been made in elucidating the genetic factors associated with T1DM, the non-genetic components have remained poorly understood. ...

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and both conditions are characterized by insulin resistance (IR) and decreased insulin production by pancreatic beta-cells. FNDC5 gene encodes a type I membrane protein that is proteolytically processed to form a hormone secreted into the blood, termed irisin. After induction by exercise, irisin activates profound changes in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, stimulating browning and UCP1 gene e...
