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

Obesity and Prostate Cancer: A Role for Adipokines
European Urology, 2007 Objectives: Many studies have investigated the association between obesity and prostate cancer risk but have yielded inconsistent results. Recent evidence suggests a particular role for obesity in prostate cancer progression.

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 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,
