New Insight on Adipose Tissue Function in Advanced Renal Failure
Journal Title: Obesity Research - Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Adipose tissue has been considered simply as an exclusive fat storage organ for a long period. Later in the mid-1990s and after identification of leptin, a revolution occurred in understanding of white adipose tissue function. In fact, adipose tissue has been recognized as a dynamic endocrine organ, which could affect whole body homeostasis.1 Thereafter, more than 50 secretory peptides, which are called “adipokines” or “adipocytokines”, with diverse metabolic functions have been identified2 and the biological role of adipose tissue became more sophisticated and interesting
