Popis: Background and Aims: Obesity, and more particularly central obesity, is strongly associated with chronic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Adipokines are involved in the pathogenesis of these obesity-linked disorders. However, adipokines secreted by visceral adipose tissue (AT), unlike those secreted by other fat depots, are still poorly characterised. In this study, we searched for novel adipokines secreted by visceral AT, compared their production in lean versus obese subjects and examined the relative contribution of the different cell types to this production [...]
