Diagnosing and Treating Periodontitis and Multimorbidity Altogether: The Case Example of the Physical Exercise Hormone Irisin

Irisin is an extracellular peptide stimulated by exercise and could act as both a biomarker and mediate the positive impact of exercise. This scoping review synthesizes human evidence on irisin variations in non-communicable diseases, showing an increase of irisin in saliva and gingival tissues in periodontitis, potentially reflecting reparative or immunomodulatory activity.
