basic FUNCTION
| adipokine playing a role in the recognition of bacteria-specific components in the host |
|
adipokine expressed in omental adipose tissue in humans and may regulate insulin action |
|
adipocytokine playing a role in the defense against intestinal bacterial translocation in the context of Crohn's disease |
|
its loss may contribute to the development of insulin resistance and T2DM |
|
potent insulin-sensitizing adipokine, and serum omentin levels possibly play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and diabetes |
|
adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing effect |
|
plays an anti-inflammatory role by preventing the TNF1-induced COX2 expression in vascular endothelial cells |
|
anti-inflammatory in vascular endothelial cells |
|
may inhibit TNF-induced expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells via blocking ERK/NFKB1 pathway |
