Abstract excerpt

Visfatin (NAMPT formerly known as PBEF1) is an adipokine that is strongly expressed in visceral fat and has caused much debate among researchers, regarding its involvement in glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. It was initially isolated from bone marrow cells, and its involvement in inflammatory procedures such as sepsis and acute lung inflammation is now evident. Several studies have also reported an...
