Adipocitocinas: uma nova visão do tecido adiposo

Abstract: A identificação da leptina, hormônio secretado pelos adipócitos, cujo efeito sobre o sistema nervoso simpático e a função endócrina confere participação ativa no controle do dispêndio energético, bem como do apetite, acrescentou às funções do tecido adiposo no organismo humano o papel de órgão multifuncional, produtor e secretor de inúmeros peptídeos e proteínas bioativas, denominadas adipocitocinas. Alterações na quantidade de tecido adiposo, como ocorrem na obesidade, afetam a produção da maioria desses fato… Show more

“…Discovered in 1994 [10], it is an Ob gene product [11], cloned and sequenced in mice and considered the adipokine responsible for the regulation of energy metabolism and homeostasis, as well as neuroendocrine functions [12]. It also assists the immunity and inflammation control through its receptor [13].…”

“…After four weeks of exposure to this hyperlipidic diet, there was significant increase in body weight of the animals from the obese group and reduction in the insulin sensitivity when compared with the animals from the control group (figures 2 and 3), which only received standard chow as food, highlighting the obesogenic effect of the diet 22 and the correlation between obesity and metabolic alterations caused by fat excess 25 . The cytokines released by the excessive adipose tissue may generate a scenario of peripheral systemic inflammation 26,27 , altering the insulin signaling and initiating a possible insulin resistant status 28 . Obesity, besides altering the physiological functions 28 , may be considered as a limiting factor for exercise tests performance, even in animals.…”
