Visfatin, an Adipocytokine with Proinflammatory and Immunomodulating Properties [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2007 Abstract Adipocytokines are mainly adipocyte-derived cytokines regulating metabolism and as such are key regulators of insulin resistance. Some adipocytokines such as adiponectin and leptin affect immune and inflammatory functions.
