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 …

Obesity is one of the main risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is closely related
to metabolic disturbances in the adipose tissue that primarily functions as a fat reservoir. For …

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a low-grade, chronic inflammatory disease,
associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this systematic review/meta …

Vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin; serpinA12) was originally identified as an
adipokine, which is predominantly secreted from visceral adipose tissue in Otsuka Long …

Adipose tissue releases bioactive mediators called adipokines. This review focuses on the
effects of omentin, vaspin, cardiotrophin-1, Tumor necrosis factor-like Weak Inducer of …

In obesity, elevated fat mass and ectopic fat accumulation are associated with changes in
adipokine secretion, which may link obesity to inflammation and the development of insulin …

Objective Adipokines, visfatin, apelin, vaspin and ghrelin have emerged as novel
cardiovascular risk factors. We aimed to evaluate the effects of different exercise modalities …

Obesity is a complex disease caused by the interaction of a myriad of genetic, dietary,
lifestyle and environmental factors, which favors a chronic positive energy balance, leading …

In recent years, most research efforts have been focused on studying insulin‐sensitizing
adipokines. One of the most recently discovered adipokines is vaspin, a visceral adipose …

Vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor) was recently identified as
a novel adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing effects. We hypothesized that vaspin could …
