In this small sample of older adults with osteosarcopenia, treatment with the GH secretagogue anamorelin did not significantly alter levels of irisin, IL-6, or hsCRP. Higher baseline irisin levels may attenuate the glycemic response to anamorelin treatment; however, a larger study is needed to confirm this possibility.
