This narrative review summarizes current knowledge on the effects of physical activity (PA)
on adipokine levels in individuals with overweight and obesity. Approximately 90 …

Human adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) support the engineering of functional tissue
constructs by secreting angiogenic and cytoprotective factors, which act in a paracrine …

microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs regulating gene expression, cell growth,
and differentiation. Although several miRNAs have been implicated in cell growth and …

Expression of the gene encoding resistin, a low molecular weight protein secreted from
adipose tissue postulated to link obesity and type II diabetes, was examined in 3T3‐L1 …

Aim: This manuscript briefly reviews evidence and potential implications of a leptin‐
sympathetic‐leptin feedback loop. Results: Leptin increases sympathetic nerve activity to …

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are important intercellular signaling molecules in
developmental processes. Here, we show that FGF10 is secreted by cultured preadipocytes …

Objective: To elucidate the hormonal regulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by human
adipose tissue and its relation to leptin. Design: In vitro study. Human adipocytes were …

Leptin, a hormone produced by the adipose tissue, is present in the circulation in proportion
to the amount of body fat [2, 5, 13, 23, 26, 40, 42]. Administration of purified recombinant …

There are indications that PRL may exert important metabolic actions on adipose tissue in
different species. However, with the exception of birds, the receptor has not been identified …

There is an association between autonomic nervous system output and obesity. The
sympathetic nervous system stimulates lipid metabolism and regulates food intake and …
