Irisin does not mediate resistance training-induced alterations in resting metabolic rate
Purpose - This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 6-month preventive resistance training program on resting metabolic rate (RMR) and its associations with fat-free mass (FFM) and the newly described myokine irisin as two potential mechanistic links between exercise training and RMR...

| Summary: | Purpose - This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 6-month preventive resistance training program on resting metabolic rate (RMR) and its associations with fat-free mass (FFM) and the newly described myokine irisin as two potential mechanistic links between exercise training and RMR. - Methods - In a randomized controlled trial, 74 sedentary healthy male and female participants either completed 6 months of high-repetition resistance training 3 d·wk−1 in accordance with the American College of Sports Medicine recommendations (RT: n = 37; 47 ± 7 yr; body mass index, 25.0 ± 3.4 kg·m−2) or served as controls (CO: n = 37; 50 ± 7 yr; body mass index, 24.2 ± 3.2 kg·m−2). Strength (one-repetition maximum), RMR (indirect calorimetry), body fat (caliper method), and serum irisin concentration (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) were measured before and after 6 months of training. - Results - Training led to an increase in strength (one-repetition maximum leg press, 16% ± 7%; P < 0.001). RMR increased in RT (1671 ± 356 vs 1843 ± 385 kcal·d−1, P < 0.001) but not in CO (1587 ± 285 vs 1602 ± 294 kcal·d−1, P = 0.97; group-time interaction, P < 0.01). Body weight (RT, −0.5 ± 2.4 kg; CO, 0.1 ± 2.3 kg), body fat percentage (RT, −1.1% ± 2.5%; CO, −0.7% ± 2.9%), and FFM (RT, 0.4 ± 2.1 kg; CO, 0.6 ± 1.9 kg) did not develop differently between groups (group-time interaction: P = 0.29, P = 0.54, and P = 0.59, respectively). Serum irisin concentration increased in CO (70.8 ± 83.4 ng·mL−1, P < 0.001) but not in RT (22.4 ± 92.6 ng·mL−1, P = 0.67; group-time interaction, P < 0.01). The change in RMR was not associated with the change in FFM (r = −0.11, P = 0.36) or irisin (r = −0.004, P = 0.97). - Conclusions - Preventive resistance training elicits an increase in RMR. However, in contrast to currently discussed hypotheses, this increase does not seem to be mediated by training-induced changes in FFM or circulating irisin concentration, which casts doubt in the meaning of irisin for human energy balance. |
