Adipokines such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and the less studied omentin, chemerin, and visfatin, as well as the gastrointestinal hormones ghrelin, cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1, and neuropeptides, including substance P or neuropeptide Y, can play a significant role in asthma with obesity. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
