Adipokine Regulation

Meaning

Adipokine regulation refers to the intricate homeostatic control of signaling molecules released by adipose tissue, known as adipokines. These hormones, including leptin, adiponectin, and resistin, profoundly influence systemic metabolism and inflammatory processes. Proper regulation is essential for maintaining energy balance, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular health. Dysregulation of these endocrine signals is a core component of metabolic syndrome and obesity-related complications.
