Diseases affecting adipose tissue (AT) function include obesity, lipodystrophy, and lipedema, among others. Both a lack of and excess AT are associated with increased risk for developing diseases including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and some types of cancer. However, individual risk of developing cardiometabolic and other 'obesity-related' diseases is not entirely determined by fat mass.

Context: Experimental evidence indicates that resistin, an adipokine, negatively impacts muscle metabolism by hindering myogenesis.
Objective: To explore resistin's potential as a biomarker of muscle health in humans by examining the relationship between circulating resistin levels and sarcopenia in older adults.
Design And Setting: A case-control study conducted in a geriatric clinical unit.
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the treatment of choice for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but there is a continued loss of grafts in the long-term (50% at 10 years) due to either patient 's death or chronic allograft dysfunction. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is very prevalent after KT (30-40%) and its components contribute to the appearance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which represents the hepatic component of MS. Furthermore, about 20-40% of KT recipients present early graft inflammation, including subclinical inflammation.

Background: Cardiometabolic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is largely driven by obesity-related factors, including adipokines and bioactive peptides primarily secreted by the adipose tissue, such as leptin, adiponectin, and resistin. These molecules link metabolic dysregulation to cardiovascular dysfunction, influencing HFpEF progression and patient outcomes Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed up to 20 November 2024, using keywords and MeSH terms, such as "HFpEF", "adipokines", "leptin", "adiponectin", and "resistin", yielding 723 results. Boolean operators refined the search, and reference lists of key studies were reviewed.

Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by organ dysfunction, resulting from an uncontrolled or abnormal immune response to infection, which leads to septicemia. It involves a disruption of immune homeostasis, marked by the release of Inflammatory factors and dysfunction of immune cells. Adiponectin is widely recognized as an anti-inflammatory mediator, playing a crucial role in regulating immune cell function and exerting protective effects on tissues and organs.
