Abstract
Obesity is a complicated disorder involving an increasing amount of fat in the body. It raises the risk of a variety of illnesses, including heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and diabetes. Obesity has a complicated origin, comprising a series of interactions between genetics, and hormones, in addition to diet and physical activity. The regulation of whole-body energy is dependent on adipose tissue (fat tissues). It, on the other hand, stores energy in the form of fat and regulates fat mobilization and distribution in the body. It also works as an endocrine organ, producing a number of chemicals such as adipocytokines. Furthermore, fats are burned by beige and brown adipose tissue by dispersing energy in the form of heat in order to maintain a normal body temperature and have been proposed as a potential method of preventing obesity. In this review, we discuss the latest articles on different forms of adipose tissues and their role in metabolism control, with a focus on their endocrine function. The molecular function and clinical importance of various key adipocytokines are described as well
