Abstract
Pathogenesis of chronic lung diseases is assumed to involve systemic inflammation factors, as well as hormone-like substances adipokines produced by adipose tissue, which is an independent endocrine organ. Adipokines cause systemic inflammation under the influence of hypoxemia due to obesity and associated respiratory disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypoventilation syndrome, etc. However, the influence of specific adipocytes on the development and course of bronchopulmonary diseases remains unclear.Purpose of this review was to evaluate the contribution of some adipocytokines to the development of bronchopulmonary conditions against abdominal obesity. We collected data on adiponectin, adipsin, lipocalin-2, interleukin 6, insulin, glucagon, leptin, monocyte-chemoattractant protein type 1, tumor necrosis factor-α, amylin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, ghrelin, and pancreatic polypeptide in patients with abdominal obesity and bronchopulmonary disorders.Conclusion. The presented data confirm that hormone-like substances produced by adipose tissue make a significant contribution to the severity of respiratory disorders.
