Namely, obesity is a principal causative factor in the development of metabolic syndrome, a condition that greatly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Adipocytes are not merely storage sites of (fat) triglyceride produced from excessive energy but also secrete various physiologically active substances (adipocytokine) such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), resistin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), adiponectin, and leptin. Dysregulation of adipocytokine secretion in subjects with visceral accumulation such as hypersecretion of PAI-1, TNF-α and hyposecretion of adiponectin may be an important molecular basis of metabolic syndrome. This paper is reviewed on the relationship between metabolic syndrome and adipocytes in nutrients., 5, KJ00006452263, 総説, General manuscript}, pages = {5--10}, title = {メタボリックシンドロームと脂肪細胞}, volume = {3}, year = {2008} }
