adipokiinien
Adipokiines are a group of signaling proteins, also known as adipocytokines, secreted primarily by adipose tissue. This specialized connective tissue, commonly known as body fat, plays a far more active role in metabolism and inflammation than was previously understood, largely due to the production of these molecules. Adipokiines mediate a wide range of physiological functions, influencing processes such as glucose metabolism, fatty acid oxidation, and inflammation.
Key examples of adipokiines include leptin, which regulates appetite and energy expenditure, and adiponectin, known for
Dysregulation in adipokiine production and signaling is implicated in various metabolic and inflammatory diseases, including obesity,
