Abstract
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), an adipokine, is a regulator of oxidative stress, inflammation, angiogenesis, and insulin sensitivity. Contrary to animal and cell culture data, inhibition of the sympathoadrenal system does not affect serum PEDF in humans. However, during acute beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation serum PEDF concentration is decreased. PEDF may be involved in cross talk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.Entities:
