Aims/hypothesis: Growing evidence supports that dysregulation of adipose tissue-derived factors contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. Since our global gene profiling analysis has identified lipocalin-14 (LCN14)-a secretory protein with lipid-binding properties-as a potential adipokine highly expressed in white adipose tissue (WAT), this study aims to explore the metabolic roles of LCN14 in obese mice, and to investigate the functional mechanisms involved.

Methods: Immunoassays and western blotting were performed to determine the circulating level and tissue distribution of LCN14, respectively.
