Visfatin: An emerging adipocytokine bridging the gap in the evolution of cardiovascular diseases
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Cellular Physiology"
DOI: 10.1002/jcp.30345
Abstract: Visfatin/nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is an adipokine expressed predominately in visceral fat tissues. High circulating levels of visfatin/NAMPT have been implicated in vascular remodeling, vascular inflammation, and atherosclerosis, all of which pose increased risks of cardiovascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2018.06.001
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Age-related bone loss is associated with bone marrow adiposity. Adipokines (e.g., visfatin, resistin, leptin) are adipocyte-derived factors with immunomodulatory properties and might influence differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in osteoarthritis (OA)… read more here.
