Abstract

Adipokine Concentration in Adipose Tissue of Obese Mice: Location Dependency

Highlights

  • Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipocytes leading to enlargement of adipose tissue are the characteristics of obesity

  • We investigated the differential expression of adipokines from the Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT), Gonadal Adipose Tissue (GAT) and Perivascular Adipose Tissue (PVAT) of diet-induced obese mice compared with control lean mice

  • Some studies have shown a positive correlation between adipocyte size and secretion of adipokines from adipocytes, whereas others suggest that the location of adipose tissue is a predominant factor in regulating adipokine secretion [2,3]

Summary

Introduction

Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipocytes leading to enlargement of adipose tissue are the characteristics of obesity. We examined the correlation of adipokine concentrations with the cell-surface area of adipocytes from adipose tissue from three locations. We investigated the levels of different adipokines in SAT, GAT and PVAT in diet-induced obese mice compared with control lean mice.
