Chemerin is an adipokine associated with increased blood pressure, and may link obesity
with hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that chemerin-induced contraction of the …

Objective—Obesity and hypertension are comorbid in epidemic proportion, yet their
biological connection is largely a mystery. The peptide chemerin is a candidate for …

The adipokine chemerin has been implicated in cardiovascular complications associated
with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Chemerin has direct effects on the vasculature …

Blood chemerin concentration shows positive correlation not only with body mass index and
serum triglyceride level but also with systolic blood pressure. While it seems likely that …

The adipokine chemerin may support blood pressure, evidenced by a fall in mean arterial
pressure after whole body antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated knockdown of …

(1) Background: Obesity is closely connected to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular
diseases (CVDs). Excess fat accumulation is associated with metabolic malfunctions that …

Adipocytes produce adipokines, including chemerin, a chemoattractant that mediates effects
through its ChemR23 receptor. Chemerin has been linked to endothelial dysfunction and …

When chemerin was discovered in 1997, it was relegated to being a protein associated with
the normal skin function contrasting the setting of psoriasis. However, with the discovery of …

Background Circulating levels of chemerin are significantly higher in hypertensive patients
and positively correlate with blood pressure. Chemerin activates chemokine‐like receptor 1 …

The protein chemerin (tazarotene-induced gene, TIG2; RARRES2) is a relatively new
adipokine. Many studies support that circulating chemerin levels associate strongly and …
