It is well known that adipokines are endocrine factors that are mainly secreted by white
adipose tissue. Their central role in energy metabolism is currently accepted. More recently …

Whereas accumulation of fat depots occurs during the first two-thirds of gestation, increased
adipose tissue lipolysis and hyperlipidemia develops in the last trimester. Insulin resistance …

Background Experimental evidence suggests that developmental exposure to persistent
organic pollutants (POP) and to some non persistent pesticides may disrupt metabolic …

Developmental programming is an important physiological process that allows different
phenotypes to originate from a single genotype. Through plasticity in early life, the …

Objective: It remains uncertain whether leptin and adiponectin levels are correlated in
maternal vs. fetal circulations. Little is known about whether leptin and adiponectin affect …

New World monkeys (NWMs) are characterized by an extensive size range, with clawed
NWMs (subfamily Callitrichinae, or callitrichines) such as the common marmoset manifesting …

Adiponectin is the most abundant protein secreted by the white adipose tissue. It circulates
at high levels in the bloodstream and its serum concentration is inversely correlated with …

Adipose tissue secretes a variety of adipokines, including leptin and adiponectin, which are
involved in endocrine processes regulating glucose and fatty metabolism, energy …

La obesidad es hoy la enfermedad crónica más prevalente en la infancia y la adolescencia
en nuestro medio y en todo el mundo occidental. Esto la ha convertido en uno de los …

The factors controlling linear growth and weight gain in the human fetus and newborn infant
are poorly understood. We review here the changes in linear growth, weight gain, lean body …
