Abstract

Adipose tissue secretes several bioactive molecules called adipokines, which participate in the homeostasis of various physiological processes, such as food intake, energy balance regulation, insulin action, and glucose metabolism. Some of the adipokines are: ghrelin, resistin, leptin, and adiponectin. In this paper, we will focus on the action of adiponectin.
