Background and Aims: Follistatin-like protein-1 (FSTL-1) is considered to be an adipokine or myokine that could be a potential regulator of metabolism. Our purpose is to investigate the relationship between circulating FSTL-1 levels and insulin resistance (IR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to identify the regulatory factors.Methods: FSTIA expression in C57BL/6J and db/db mice was examined by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blots. Serum FSTL-1 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 298 T2DM patients and 202 healthy controls. Changes in the circulating FSTLA level were observed during the oral glucose tolerance test, EHC (euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp), lipid infusion, acute exercise, and cold-exposure test.Results: We found that FSTL-1 protein expression in the adipose tissue of db/db mice was significantly higher than that of wild-type mice. Importantly, circulating FSTL-1 levels in T2DM and overweight/obese participants were higher than those in healthy and lean individuals, and was related to HOMA-IR, adiponectin, and obesity- and metabolism-related parameters. In the intervention study, 45 minutes of physical activity was found to significantly increase the circulating FSTL-1 concentration in young, healthy participants. Further, FSTL-1 protein expression in adipose tissue rose dramatically in response to physical activity in mice. Hyperinsulinemia during EHC and acute elevated FFA induced by lipid infusion resulted in a significant decrease in the circulating FSTL1 levels. However, no change was found in the circulating FSTL-1 levels in response to the oral glucose challenge or cold-exposure test.Conclusions: FSTL-1 may be an adipomyokine associated with insulin resistance and physical activity, and circulating FSTL-1 levels are increased in patients with T2DM.
