The Adipokines in Cancer Cachexia [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Cachexia is a devastating pathology induced by several kinds of diseases, including cancer. The hallmark of cancer cachexia is an extended weight loss mainly due to skeletal muscle wasting and fat storage depletion from adipose tissue. The latter exerts key functions for the health of the whole organism, also through the secretion of several adipokines.

Adipokines and psoriasis

Experimental Dermatology, 2011
Abstract:  Adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ contributing to the regulation of multiple metabolic pathways via self‐produced bioactive products called adipokines. These adipokines are key players in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases.

Focus on adipokines.

Theoretical biology forum, 2014
Once considered a passive reservoir for lipid storage and an inert provider of thermal/mechanical insulation, white adipose tissue (WAT) is presently seen as a highly dynamic endocrine organ that actively modulates a variety of physiologic processes, including energy balance, food intake, inflammation, immunity, metabolism, as well as cardio-vascular ...

Adipokines in obesity

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2013
White adipose tissue is recognized as a dynamic endocrine organ able to produce and release several bioactive polypeptides known as adipokines. Obesity is defined as an excessive growth of adipose tissue. As such, it is likely that adipokines could play an important role in the development of diseases associated with obesity including insulin ...
