Advances in Role and Mechanism of Specific and Non-Specific Adipokines in Lipid Deposition in Animals
The deposition of lipids in animals is influenced by several factors,including nutrition,genetics and the environment,which significantly impact both feed utilization and meat quality.Recent research has identi-fied the pivotal role of adipokines in regulating lipid deposition.Adipokines regulate lipid deposition through pathways involving appetite regulation,fatty acid oxidation,lipid synthesis and breakdown,as well as the browning of white adipose tissue.This paper reviewed the effects and mechanisms of specific and non-specific adipokines on animal lipid deposition,and anticipates future research directions of adipokines,aiming to pro-vide a scientific basis for the study of lipid deposition from the perspective of adipokines.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(5):2845-2855]
