The adipose tissue has pleiotropic functions far beyond the mere storage of energy, and it secretes a number of hormones and cytokines, called adipokines, which have biological effects that impact heath and disease. Adipokines are markedly elevated in the plasma of uremic patients, mainly due to decreased renal excretion.

Adipokines in human reproduction
Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2015Abstract Adipose tissue communicates with other central and peripheral organs by the synthesis and release of substances called adipokines. The most studied adipokine is leptin but others have been recently identified including resistin, adiponectin, chemerin, omentin and visfatin.

ABSTRACT Our understanding of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ has been transformed over the last 20 years. During this time, a number of adipocyte‐derived factors or adipokines have been identified. This article will review evidence for how adipokines acting via the central nervous system (CNS) regulate ...

Adipokines in Critical Illness
2016Adipose tissue in human can be divided into two main categories, being white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. White adipose tissue (WAT) is located in the subcutis (subcutaneous) and in intra-abdominal locations in association with the viscera (visceral).

Adipokines and treatment with niacin
Metabolism, 2006Adipokines may serve as an important etiologic link between atherosclerosis and obesity. Because adipose tissue is one site of action of the lipid-lowering drug niacin, we investigated whether niacin treatment would affect not only lipids but also adipokines. Twenty-four patients were treated with extended-release niacin.

Adipokines, Immunity, and Infection
EndocrinologyAbstract Adipose tissue, long regarded as exclusively an energy reservoir, is now recognized as an active endocrine organ with significant immunomodulatory functions. As global obesity rates rise, understanding how adipokines influence the immune response is increasingly critical. In this review we focus on three key adipokines—leptin,
