Visfatin: An emerging adipocytokine bridging the gap in the evolution of cardiovascular diseases
Abstract
Visfatin/nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is an adipokine expressed predominately in visceral fat tissues. High circulating levels of visfatin/NAMPT have been implicated in vascular remodeling, vascular inflammation, and atherosclerosis, all of which pose increased risks of cardiovascular events. In this context, increased levels of visfatin have been correlated with several upregulated pro-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1,...
