Abstract
Background and Aims: We have identified six adipokines that are oversecreted by omental adipose tissue (OAT) in obesity: 3 chemokines [Growth-Related Oncogen factor (GRO), Regulated upon Activation Normal T cells Expressed and Secreted (RANTES), Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1ß (MIP-1ß)], 1 interleukin (IL-7), 1 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) and 1 growth factor (thrombopoietin, TPO). Enhanced expression of these adipokines in adipocytes did correlate with several features of the metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present study was to examine whether the abnormal hormonal milieu and/or the chronic inflammation state that prevail in obesity could contribute to such dysregulation of adipokine production. We thus examined the effect of some hormones (insulin, glucocorticoids and catecholamines) and the proinflammatory cytokine, TNFĮ on these adipokines in omental adipocytes.[...]
