Omentin Signaling Pathway

Adipose tissue not only stores energy but also secretes a variety of inflammatory mediators and cellular factors. It secretes tumor necrosis factor-u03b1 (TNF-u03b1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), leptin, retinol-binding protein, resistin, adiponectin, visfatin, etc., affecting carbohydrates and lipid metabolism and playing an important role in pathophysiological processes such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, inflammatory response, and vascular endothelial dysfunction.
