Adipokines, adiposity, and atherosclerosis
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2022Characterized by a surplus of whole-body adiposity, obesity is strongly associated with the prognosis of atherosclerosis, a hallmark of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the major contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Adipose tissue serves a primary role as a lipid-storage organ, secreting cytokines known as adipokines that affect ...

Adipose tissue is the source of soluble mediators (adipokines), secreted mainly by adipocytes. Leptin acts on the brain and peripheral organs to regulate energy homeostasis and the neuroendocrine axis. Adiponectin regulates glucose and lipid metabolism by targeting the liver and skeletal muscle.

Adipokines in vascular calcification
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2021Adipose tissue (AT), a critical endocrine gland, is capable of producing and secreting abundant adipokines. Adipokines act on distant or adjacent organ tissues via paracrine, autocrine, and endocrine mechanism, which play attractive roles in the regulation of glycolipid metabolism and inflammatory response. Increasing evidence shows that adipokines can

Obesity, adipokines and neuroinflammation
Neuropharmacology, 2015Global levels of obesity are reaching epidemic proportions, leading to a dramatic increase in incidence of secondary diseases and the significant economic burden associated with their treatment. These comorbidities include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some psychopathologies, which have been linked to a low-grade inflammatory state.

Adipokines in health and disease
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2015Obesity increases the risk for metabolic, cardiovascular, chronic inflammatory, and several malignant diseases and, therefore, may contribute to shortened lifespan. Adipokines are peptides that signal the functional status of adipose tissue to targets in the brain, liver, pancreas, immune system, vasculature, muscle, and other tissues.

Adipose tissue secretes highly bioactive factors, the adipokines. Systemic levels of adipokines are often altered in the presence of inflammation. In turn, adipokines affect different tissues and cells systemically as well as locally, contributing to immunomodulatory and bone remodelling mechanisms.

Adipokines in Childhood Obesity
2013The worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents during the past decades, in addition to mounting evidence indicating that obesity is associated with an increased incidence of comorbidities and the risk of premature death, resulting in a high economical impact, has stimulated obesity-focused research.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now considered as one of the strongest risk factors for all cause mortality and cardiovascular events. However, the link between CKD and systemic events is unclear. The role of the kidney is primarily considered a target organ during the development of obesity as altered production of adipokines from visceral adipocytes,

Adipokines in gestational diabetes
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2014Gestational diabetes is characterised by glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. The disease shows facets of the metabolic syndrome including obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidaemia. Adipokines are a group of proteins secreted from adipocytes, which are dysregulated in obesity and contribute to metabolic and ...

Adipokines and Alzheimer's Disease
2011Alzheimer's disease pathology involves β-amyloid and tau. Various potential pharmacological targets are discussed that may be able to alleviate the accumulation of β-amyloid and tau. Possible causes of Alzheimer's disease are discussed involving impaired glucose and lipid metabolism and obesity. Adipokines may be involved in the etiology of Alzheimer's
