Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdipokines Overview: The Major Component of Immune DysregulationAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Daria Dmitryevna Borodko, Stanislav Anatolievich Antonov et al.Purpose of Review: Obesity is increasingly recognized as an immune endocrine disorder rather than only a metabolic condition. This review critically examines how adipokines particularly adiponectin, resistin, adipsin, and chemerin mediate the interplay between obesity and autoimmunity. Unlike previous reviews that broadly surveyed cytokines, our focus is on comparative roles of specific adipokines across multiple autoimmune diseases. Recent Findings: Evidence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2026 · 879 accessesView PDFCite
