ABSTRACT Adipokines are proteins secreted by adipose tissue to regulate glucolipid metabolism and play vital roles in our body. Different adipokines have more than one endocrine function and be divided into several different categories according to their functions, including adipokines involved in glucolipid metabolism, the inflammatory response, insulin action, activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and appetite regulation. Multiple adipokines interact with each other to regulate metabolic processes. Based on the recent progress of adipokine research, this article discusses the role and mechanism of various adipokines in glucolipid metabolism, which may provide new ideas for understanding the pathogenesis and improving the treatment of various metabolic diseases.
