Adipokines play a significant role in the pathogenesis of a low-grade inflammation
associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, and in chronic inflammatory and …

Low-grade inflammation is important in the development of obesity related pathologies such
as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and also cardiovascular disease …

The link between obesity and diabetes is strong as well as complex. Fat cells produce many
circulating regulators of insulin sensitivity, including pro-inflammatory cytokines. In rodents …

Adipose tissue is still regarded as a principle site for lipid storage and mobilizing tissue with
an important role in the control of energy homeostasis. Additionally, adipose tissue-secreted …

Resistin is an adipocyte-and monocyte-derived cytokine which has been implicated in the
modulation of insulin action, energy, glucose and lipid homeostasis. Resistin has been …

Resistin is secreted from adipocytes, and high circulating levels have been associated with
obesity and insulin resistance. To investigate whether resistin could exert autocrine effects in …

Visfatin has been proposed as an insulin-mimicking adipocytokine, predominantly secreted
from adipose tissue and correlated with obesity. However, recent studies suggest visfatin …

The adipokine resistin is suggested to be an important link between obesity and insulin
resistance. In the present study, we assessed the impact of resistin as inflammatogenic …

With the growing prevalence of obesity, scientific interest in the biology of adipose tissue has
been extended to the secretory products of adipocytes, since they are increasingly shown to …

Resistin is an adipokine that contributes to insulin resistance in mice. In humans, however,
studies investigating the link between resistin and metabolic disease are conflicting. Further …
