NUCB2/nesfatin‐1: A new adipokine expressed in human and murine chondrocytes with pro‐inflammatory properties, an in vitro study
25 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Nesfatin-1 is a recently discovered satiety-inducing adipokine identified in hypothalamic regions that regulates energy balance. So far, no data exist on NUCB2/nesfatin-1 localization in human and murine chondrocytes. Here, we therefore investigated NUCB2/nesfatin-1 gene and protein expression in human and murine chondrocytes and the effect of nesfatin-1 on pro-inflammatory cytokines expression. Peptide...
