Adipokines mediate inflammation and insulin resistance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
For many years, adipose tissue was considered as an inert energy storage organ that accumulates and stores triacylglycerols during energy excess and releases fatty acids in times of systemic energy need.

Adipokines and Their Role in Intestinal Inflammation [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Fat tissue was initially described for its endocrine and metabolic function. Over the last two decades increasing evidence indicated a close interaction with the immune system.

Adipokines in human reproduction

Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2015
Abstract 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.

Role of adipokines in embryo implantation [PDF]

Endocrine Connections, 2021
Embryo implantation is a complex process in which multiple molecules acting together under strict regulation. Studies showed the production of various adipokines and their receptors in the embryo and uterus, where they can influen ce the maternal-fetal ...

Multifaced roles of adipokines in endothelial cell function [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Obesity significantly contributes to the progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and elevates the risk of cardiovascular mortality. Atherosclerosis, the primary pathogenic process underlying CVDs, initiates with vascular endothelial dysfunction ...

Adipokines and thrombosis

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2011
Summary1. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. An increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, stroke and stent thrombosis after percutaneous interventions. Studies in mouse models of obesity and induced arterial or venous thrombosis have provided insights into the mechanisms ...

The Relationship of Proinflammatory and Antiinflammatory Adipokines in the Development of Metabolic Syndrome in Centrally Obese Men

Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2010
BACKGROUND: The increased prevalence of obesity worldwide is correlated with increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Studies of adipose tissue have been improved from an inert energy storage to a metabolic active endocrine organ. Adipokines secreted

Adipokines and redox signaling: impact on fatty liver disease. [PDF]

, 2011
Adipokines (adipose tissue cytokines) are polypeptide factors secreted by adipose tissue in a highly regulated manner. The 'classical' adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, and resistin) are expressed only by adipocytes, but other adipokines have been shown ...
