Abstract

Adipose tissue secretes numerous bioactive molecules (peptides, glycoproteins, fatty acids and its derivatives, phospholipids) that are suspected to be involved in the regulation of energy balance and in the aetiology of obesity-associated pathologies (diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis...). We propose to use the term “adipocrine” instead of “adipokine’ when adipose tissue represents a substantial source of the circulating levels of the considered molecule in the organism. In this chapter, we chose to focus attention on few recently proposed “adipocrines”, which are still the subject of ongoing investigations, and that we considered original in their regulation and action: visfatin, autotaxin, PEDF, RBP4, resistin, chemerin.
