| Miscellaneous/General: | Visceral adipose tissue – derived serpin A12 (vaspin), also named OL-64, an adipocytokine, is structurally a member of the serine protease family. In humans, elevated serum concentration of vaspin is associated with obesity and impaired insulin sensitivity. In patients with type 2 diabetes the correlation between increased vaspin levels and BMI and decreased insulin sensitivity has not been observed. Vaspin expression decreased when diabetes worsened and its levels normalised when insulin or pioglitazone was administered. Areas of investigation include metabolic syndrome, obesity and insulin resistance. |
