Adipokines(Adipocytokines) are bioactive secretions released from adipose tissues (body fat). These cytokines are cell signalling proteins that play a physiological part in maintaining the body’s metabolic status, inflammation, and obesity. Adipose tissues are primarily composed of Adipocytes. These adipocytes act in an Autocrine and Paracrine way and influence the body’s homeostasis through the …
