Third, adipose tissue synthesizes hormones and signaling peptides known as adipokines that include leptin, adiponectin, chemerin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, contributing to the inflammatory response in obesity-related glomerulopathy [24,25]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
