Circulating Adipokine Profile

Meaning

The Circulating Adipokine Profile represents the collective quantitative and qualitative snapshot of all hormones, cytokines, and signaling molecules secreted by adipose tissue that are detectable in the bloodstream at a given time. This profile is a dynamic biomarker of adipose tissue health and systemic metabolic function, reflecting the tissue’s role as a major endocrine organ. Clinically, analyzing this profile provides critical insight into inflammatory status, insulin sensitivity, and overall energy homeostasis.
