Journal ArticleDOI

Chemerin is a novel adipocyte-derived factor inducing insulin resistance in primary human skeletal muscle cells.

TL;DR: Adipocyte-derived secretion of chemerin may be involved in the negative cross talk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle contributing to the negative relationship between obesity and insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep, sleep-disordered breathing and metabolic consequences

TL;DR: The relative role of obesity and OSA in the pathogenesis of metabolic alterations is still unclear and is intensively studied in clinical and experimental models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipo-Myokines: Two Sides of the Same Coin—Mediators of Inflammation and Mediators of Exercise

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current literature regarding the most discussed contraction-regulated moykines like IL-6, IL-15, irisin, BDNF, ANGPTL4, FGF21, myonectin and MCP-1 and tries to elaborate on the question why pro-inflammatory adipokines on the one hand are upregulated in the obese state, and have beneficial effects after exercise on the other hand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) on glucose transport and lipid metabolism of newly-differentiated human fat cells in cell culture

TL;DR: The data suggest that TNFα induces a catabolic state in human adipose tissue which includes a loss of the stimulatory effect of insulin on glucose transport and may contribute to the loss of adipOSE tissue observed during cachexia in man.
