THE EFFECTS OF OBESITY ON PLASMA LEVELS OF OMENTIN, A DEPOT-SPECIFIC ADIPOCYTOKINE
Obesity is a chronic pathological condition and a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It has been demonstrated that adipose tissue functions not only as a fat storage depot but also as an endocrine organ. Omentin is a protein expressed and secreted in adipose tissue that increases …

GENETIC VARIANTS OF ADIPOQ AND ASSOCIATION WITH PLASMA ADIPONECTIN LEVELS, TYPE 2 DIABETES, GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS AND ADIPOSITY
… the adiponectin protein. Adiponectin is an adipocytokine that has been implicated in a wide variety of biomedical pathways, including glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism.

Mechanism of lipid disorder in HIV infection: apolipoprotein-B kinetics, fat distribution, insulin resistance and adipocytokines in patients taking protease inhibitors or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
… fat distribution, insulin resistance (HOMA), adipocytokine and apolipoprotein-B (apoB) kinetics was investigated in 12 HIV negative controls and 55 HIV-infected patients including antiretroviral treatment-naïve patients (n=15) and patients taking two nucleoside analogues plus either a protease …

The effects of obesity and surgically-induced weight loss on exercise ventilation: influence of central adiposity and serum leptin
… ventilatory mechanics. Leptin, an inflammatory adipocytokine, is elevated in obesity and has been shown to alter ventilatory responses to exercise. Leptin’s bioavailability appears to be regulated by its soluble receptor (LRe), which is reduced in obesity. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery …

Changes in gastrointestinal hormones, leptin, and satiety after gastric bypass surgery
… while the orexigenic GI hormone ghrelin and the adipocytokine leptin decrease. These changes generally occur before substantial weight loss, suggesting that a component of the surgery is responsible. Subjective satiety has also been reported to increase after RYGB, likely because of changes in …

Role of adipose tissue as an endocrineorgan in systemic inflammation
… by mild chronic inflammation as a result of adipocytokine production from fat tissue leading to dysregulation in the pro/anti‐inflammatory systemic balance. Adipokines and pro‐inflammatory markers are implicated in insulin insensitivity, blood glucose dysregulation, inflammation and …
