Abstract

BACKGROUND: Irisin is a thermogenic protein that sources outgoing energy by converting white adipose tissue to brown adipose tissue. Chemerin is originally identified as a chemoattractant protein that mainly mediating the chemotaxis of dendritic cells and natural killer cells (NKCs). The aim of this study is to assess the potential impact of immune modulation-related chemerin and irisin concentrations together with cell surface markers (CSM) in allergic asthmatic patients under omalizumab treatment.
