Abstract excerpt
Adipokines are adipocyte-secreted cell signalling proteins that travel to distant target organs and tissues, where they regulate a variety of biological actions implicated in cardiometabolic health. In the past decade, genome-wide association studies have identified multiple genetic variants associated with circulating levels of adipokines, providing new instruments for examining the role of adipokines in...
