Regulation of insulin sensitivity by adipose tissue-derived hormones and inflammatory cytokines
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this review is to assess the role of adipose tissue-derived hormones and inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of obesity-linked type II diabetes, with a special focus on articles published between December 2002 and December 2003. RECENT FINDINGS: Insulin resistance is widely recognized as a fundamental defect seen in obesity and type II diabetes. Although the molecular mechanisms triggering the development of insulin resistance remain elusive, recent studies have suggested that adipose tissue and adipose tissue-derived hormones and inflammatory cytokines play essential roles in the overall insulin sensitivity in vivo. Dysfunctions of adipose tissue can lead to systemic insulin resistance. SUMMARY: Understanding the regulation of the metabolic and secretory functions of adipose tissue, as well as its subsequent impact on overall insulin sensitivity, is becoming increasingly important given the therapeutic potential of targeting the root causes of insulin resistance in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and its associated complications, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

These adipokine changes include increased production of inflammatory cytokines, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and other bioactive products, while the protective adipokine adiponectin is reduced.
“These include increased production of inflammatory cytokines, 35,36 plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, 37 and other bioactive products 38 -40 ; at the same time the potentially protective adipokine, adiponectin, is reduced.41,42”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
