Adipocytokines provide the circuitry by which adipose tissue
communicates among its component cells which include adipocytes,
stromal cells, immune cells and vascular elements, with adipose
tissue depots in other locations throughout the body and with other
tissues in order to regulate physiologic processes of energy
intake, utilization, and distribution. Since disturbances, both
qualitative and quantitative, in adipocytokine function contribute
significantly to many of the comorbidities associated with obesity,
including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, this volume,
which discusses most of the major adipocytokines independently and
collectively and their roles in normal and pathologic processes,
should be useful to all individuals seeking a deeper understanding
of these processes. Moreover, it provides a valuable complement to
the series on Energy Balance and Cancer, in which each volume is
focused on a specific aspect of this process, which now constitutes
an expanding problem as the obesity pandemic continues and more of
the population reaches the age where cancer is most prevalent. This
volume should provide a valuable resource to all clinicians and
scientists engaged in caring for susceptible patients and in
exploring the relation between energy balance and cancer as well as
an important platform to providing the background for research
development.
