Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin family and a vitamin A carrier in the blood. More recently, RBP4 has been described as an adipokine that is involved in insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Epigenetic Regulation of Adipokines [PDF]
Adipose tissue expansion in obesity leads to changes in the expression of adipokines, adipocyte-specific hormones that can regulate whole body energy metabolism. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a mechanism by which cells can alter gene expression through the modifications of DNA and histones.

Background: Myocardial Infarction (MI) is accompanied by inflammation and production of soluble inflammatory factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of CCL18 and CCL5 levels with those of resistin, adipsin, adiponectin and ...

Aqueous humor adipokine profile of primary open angle glaucoma patients and cataract patients with or without metabolic disorders [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the role of adipokines in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) by comparing the levels of these molecules in the aqueous humor among POAG patients and cataract patients with or without metabolic disorders.

Adipokines in Liver Cirrhosis [PDF]
Liver fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis, which is considered a serious disease. The Child-Pugh score and the model of end-stage liver disease score have been established to assess residual liver function in patients with liver cirrhosis. The development of portal hypertension contributes to ascites, variceal bleeding and further complications in these

Long-distance running is an exhausting effort for the whole organism. Prolonged aerobic exercise induces changes in inflammatory markers. However, predicting muscle damage in response has limitations in terms of selecting biomarkers used to measure ...

Adipokine FABP4 integrates energy stores and counterregulatory metabolic responses
Although counterregulatory hormones and mediators of the fight-or-flight responses are well defined at many levels, how energy stores per se are integrated into this system remains an enigmatic question. Recent years have seen the adipose tissue become a

In middle age, testicular CMKLR1⁺ macrophages exhibited a pro‐inflammatory immunometabolic profile, mediated by adipose signals associated with high BMI. However, inhibition of CMKLR1 signaling, either through Cmklr1 genetic ablation or treatment with a CMKLR1 antagonist peptide, can reverse this phenotype.

The Roles and Associated Mechanisms of Adipokines in Development of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic indicators that increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Visceral obesity and factors derived from altered adipose tissue, adipokines, play critical roles in the development of metabolic ...

RBP4: a controversial adipokine [PDF]
Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ secreting biologically active factors called adipokines that act on both local and distant tissues. Adipokines have an important role in the development of obesity-related comorbidities not only in adults but also in children and adolescents.
