GlossaryAdipokines

signaling proteins released by fat cells affecting metabolism and inflammation

Adipokines are signaling proteins released by fat cells (adipocytes) that play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including metabolism, inflammation, and insulin sensitivity. They help communicate the body's energy status to other organs, influencing functions like appetite, immune response, and even hair growth.
