Besides its role as an energy storage organ, adipose tissue can be viewed as a dynamic
and complex endocrine organ, which produces and secretes several adipokines, including …

Adipose tissue can be considered as a huge gland producing paracrine and endocrine
hormones, the adipo (cyto) kines. There is growing evidence that these adipo (cyto) kines …

It is well established that adipose tissue, apart from its energy storage function, acts as an
endocrine organ that produces and secretes a number of bioactive substances, including …

Omentin‐1, also known as intelectin‐1, is a recently identified novel adipocytokine of 313
amino acids, which is expressed in visceral (omental and epicardial) fat as well as …

Obesity-related diseases are associated with vascular dysfunction and impaired
revascularization. Omentin is a fat-derived secreted protein, which is down-regulated in …

OBJECTIVE: Obesity is closely associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Omentin is a fat-derived secreted factor that is downregulated in …

Aims Omentin-1, a novel adipocytokine expressed in visceral fat tissue, is negatively
correlated with obesity, insulin resistance, and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Background Adipokines contribute directly to the atherosclerotic process, connecting
metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes to cardiovascular disease. Omentin-1 is a …

Omentin is an adipokine preferentially produced by visceral adipose tissue with insulin-
sensitizing effects. Its expression is reduced in obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 …

Purpose The relationships between gut microbiota and obesity-related co-morbidities have
been increasingly recognized. Low-grade inflammation may be the main factor in the …
