Abstract

Abstract: The change of fat distribution, the decrease of physical activity and the influence of diseases during aging will change the circulating level of adipokines. Adipokines may promote inflammation or anti-inflammation response, and keep glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism by regulating inflammatory reaction. Adipokines activate or inhibit the signal transduction pathway of substance metabolism, and play a role in the occurrence and development of muscle attenuation of aging organs. Paying attention to the role of adipokines in muscle attenuation will support the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in the elderly.

Key words: adipokines, the elderly, sarcopenia
