T Ezure, S Amano - BioFactors, 2007 - IOS Press Abstract. Adipocytes were recently shown to secrete adipocytokines, such as adiponectin and
leptin, which may have an endocrine role. Subcutaneous adipose tissue lies just beneath the
dermis, and dermal condition is correlated with body mass index (BMI). However, it is not ... Cited by 3 - Related articles - All 4 versions
