摘要
The objective is to present a brief overview of peptide and non-peptide factors secreted from adipocytes and to describe some studies on the postulated role of the locally active triad angiotensinogen/angiotensin II/prostacyclin in the development/enlargment of adipose tissue mass and increased blood pressure. In addition to the role of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ, the results emphasize the autocrine/paracrine mechanisms which are postulated to play a role in adipose tissue development and enlargment.
