AbstractThe heart and blood vessels are surrounded by epicardial and perivascular adipose tissues, respectively, which play important roles in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis by secreting a number of biologically active molecules, termed "adipokines." Many of these adipokines function as an important component of the 'adipo-cardiovascular axis' mediating the cross talk between adipose tissues, the heart, and the vasculature. On the one hand, most adipokines [including tumor necrosis factor-α, resistin, adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP), and lipocalin-2] are proinflammatory and causally associated with endothelial and cardiac dysfunction by their endocrine/paracrine actions. On the other hand, adiponectin is one of the few adipokines that possesses multiple salutary effects on the prevention of cardiovascular disease, because of its pleiotropic actions on the heart and the blood vessels. The discordant production of adipokines in dysfunctional adipose tissue is a key contributor to obesity-related cardiovascular disease. This review provides an update in understanding the roles of adipokines in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders associated with obesity and diabetes and focuses on the two most abundant adipokines, adiponectin and A-FABP. Indeed, data from both animal studies and clinical investigations imply that these two adipokines are prognostic biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and even promising therapeutic targets for its treatment. © 2012 the American Physiological Society.
