Visfatin: gene expression in isolated adipocytes and sequence analysis in obese WOKW rats compared with lean control rats.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 15 Jul 2005

Klöting Nora, Klöting Ingrid

Abstract excerpt

Recently, Fukuhara et al. have shown that the novel visfatin is predominantly released from visceral adipocytes and shares metabolic functions with insulin. The authors suggested that there is a relationship between visfatin and the metabolic syndrome in humans. These findings prompted us to clarify the visfatin gene expression from visceral and subcutaneous adipocytes in WOKW rats, as an animal model for...
