Epigenetic Regulation of Adipokines [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 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.

Adipokines in Liver Cirrhosis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 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

CNS Targets of Adipokines [PDF]
Comprehensive Physiology, 2017 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 ...
