Adipokine Profiles and Metabolic Health
The epidemic of obesity is a major health problem that leads to medical and socioeconomic burdens on society. Although body mass index (BMI) has been the most commonly used measure to determine the degree of obesity, it does not necessarily reflect the degree of adiposity. Recent observations show that some subpopulations exhibit unexpected metabolic profiles that deviate from the typical dose-...
متن کاملAdiponectin: an adipokine with protective features against metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) as a collection of obesity-associated disorders is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, pro-thrombotic state, elevated risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin is one of the most abundant peptide hormones derived from adipose tissue. This protein plays a major role in glucose and lipid metabolism and prevents development of ...
متن کاملExercise Induced Adipokine Changes and the Metabolic Syndrome
The lack of adequate physical activity and obesity created a worldwide pandemic. Obesity is characterized by the deposition of adipose tissue in various parts of the body; it is now evident that adipose tissue also acts as an endocrine organ capable of secreting many cytokines that are though to be involved in the pathophysiology of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Adipokine...
متن کاملFGF21 drives a shift in adipokine tone to restore metabolic health
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a key metabolic regulator with significant potential to treat metabolic disease. Rather than traditional glucose or lipid centric therapies, FGF21 instead functions via expansive remodeling of whole body energy balance [1]. While FGF21’s ability to ameliorate disease burden is well established in species ranging from mice to men, the mechanism(s) by which ...
