“…4,[36][37] Adipose tissue also functions as important endocrine organ and secretes numerous cytokines and hormones that regulate global energy homeostasis. 38 In human, adipogenesis is mainly occurred during the process of embryo development and the turnover of adipocytes in adult adipose tissues. 39,40 Thus, deciphering the adipocyte differentiation program will lead to eventual therapeutics to cure obesity-related metabolic diseases.…”

“…Although the exact underlying mechanisms remain obscure, some of the consequences and complications of obesity likely are caused by the condition. Obesity is considered a chronic systemic inflammatory state at baseline [9,29]. Recent studies have shown that fat tissue functions as an endocrine and immunoactive organ and secretes a number of inflammatory proteins, including adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a), and IL-6.…”

“…Le profil sécrétoire des adipocytes varie en fonction de la localisation du tissu adipeux. La leptine, mais aussi l'adiponectine, sont principalement sécrétées par le tissu adipeux sous-cutané, alors que le tissu adipeux périviscéral est la principale source de cytokines pro-inflammatoires et de peptides bioactifs, comme le VEGF (pour revue [14]). Les conséquences de l'expansion des différents dépôts adipeux sont aussi différentes.…”
