Both irisin and BDNF are possible candidates as markers of sarcopenia [24], together with the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), follistatin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), osteoglycin, FAM5C, interleukin (IL-6), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), IL-7, IL-15, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), osteonectin, and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), which affect also bone cells [27]. This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and sarcopenia.
