Adipose‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Intercellular Crosstalk With Skeletal Muscle: Implications for Sarcopenic Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 1-22, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the concurrent presence of excess adiposity and diminished skeletal muscle mass and function, is closely linked to frailty, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The increasing prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is driven by the global aging population, widespread adoption of sedentary lifestyles, and

Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) in Adipocytes and Obesity

The FASEB Journal, 2019
We have earlier reported the generation and study of transgenic mice that express human RBP4 (hRBP4) in both white and brown adipocytes (Lee et al. Hepatology 2016, 64:1534–1546). Our published studies of these mice (adi‐hRBP4 mice) established that

Retinol binding protein 4 in patients as a marker for acute myocardial infarction with obesity as a predisposing factor: a scoping review

Heliyon
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a critical manifestation of ischemic heart disease, significantly contributes to global cardiovascular mortality. This study explores the role of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), which is linked to both obesity and AMI.

Association of retinol-binding protein 4 with metabolic syndrome in first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is known to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. The influences of RBP4 on metabolic syndrome (MS) are still unclear.

RBP4-STRA6 Pathway Drives Cancer Stem Cell Maintenance and Mediates High-Fat Diet-Induced Colon Carcinogenesis

Stem Cell Reports, 2017
Summary The transmembrane protein, STRA6, functions as a vitamin A transporter and a cytokine receptor when activated by vitamin A-bound serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4).

Relationships of SLC2A4, RBP4, PCK1, and PI3K Gene Polymorphisms with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in a Chinese Population

BioMed Research International, 2019
Background Solute carrier family 2 member 4- (SLC2A4-) retinol binding protein-4- (RBP4-) phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is an adipocyte derived “signalling pathway” that may contribute to the pathogenesis of ...
