Study of adipokine secretion and their functions.

Due to the recent discoveries of a growing number of cytokines secreted by adipocytes termed as Adipokines, the simple paradigm of adipocytes as merely the depot of excess energy (fat) has quickly evolved into a new notion of these cells as multi-functional endocrine cells involving in an extraordin...
