Effect of Exercise on Fatty Acid Metabolism and Adipokine Secretion in Adipose Tissue
Increased physical activity is an optimal way to maintain a good health. During exercise, triacylglycerols, an energy reservoir in adipose tissue, are hydrolyzed to free fatty acids (FAs) which are then released to the circulation, providing a fuel for ...

Role of Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) Concentration in Patients with Primary Hypertension: A Case-control Study [PDF]
Introduction: Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4), an adipokine that transports vitamin A from the liver to other tissues, is reported to be elevated in hypertensive subjects.

Neuregulin 4 as a novel adipokine in energy metabolism
Adipose tissue has been shown to play a key role in energy metabolism and it has been shown to regulate metabolic homeostasis through the secretion of adipokines.

The relationship between adipokine levels and bone mass—A systematic review
Adipose tissue is the source of a broad array of signalling molecules (adipokines), which mediate interorgan communication and regulate metabolic homeostasis.

The Role of the Adipokine Leptin in Immune Cell Function in Health and Disease
Leptin is a critical mediator of the immune response to changes in overall nutrition. Leptin is produced by adipocytes in proportion to adipose tissue mass and is therefore increased in obesity. Despite having a well-described role in regulating systemic

Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) as A Novel Adipokine: Role in Metabolism and Fat Homeostasis
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a molecule implicated in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis and inflammatory processes, and it exerts its main action through its enzymatic activity.

Chemerin: A Functional Adipokine in Reproductive Health and Diseases
As a multifaceted adipokine, chemerin has been found to perform functions vital for immunity, adiposity, and metabolism through its three known receptors (chemokine-like receptor 1, CMKLR1; G-protein-coupled receptor 1, GPR1; C-C motif chemokine receptor-

Differential adipokine receptor expression on circulating leukocyte subsets in lean and obese children. [PDF]
Childhood obesity prevalence has increased worldwide and is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The production of inflammatory adipokines by obese adipose tissue contributes to the development of T2D and ...
