Abstract

Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ able to produce a wide series of pleiotropic molecules, defined "adipokines". In addition to the regulation of food intake and energy metabolism, adipokines are also implicated in the complex control of bone biology and specifically of bone remodeling. Leptin, the most studied adipokine, promotes satiety and energy expenditure and its circulating levels are proportional to fat mass. Some paradoxical findings originally suggested the involvement of leptin in controlling bone mass. For example, obese postmenopausal women, with elevated circulating leptin and leptin resistance, appear protected against the development of osteoporosis. Moreover, genetically leptin-deficient mice, which are hypogonadal and obese, display a decreased trabecular volume in long bones, but an increased vertebral bone mass, which is reduced by leptin administration. The complex mechanisms of leptin regulation of bone mass appear to involve selected hypothalamic neuronal populations and the sympathetic outflow, with an important role of osteoblastic beta2-adrenergic receptors. Adiponectin is another adipokine, which promotes insulin sensitivity and is reduced in obese and diabetic subjects. Adiponectin appears to exert...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
