Studies about adipocytes have been progressing because visceral adipose tissue has been recognized as the main pathological cause for the metabolic syndrome. Function of adipocytes was, until about ten years ago, considered to merely store energy. Recent studies reveal that adipocytes release various biologically active substances, which are named "adipocytokines". Adipocytes are associated with dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertension in the metabolic syndrome, and are also associated with thrombosis and inflammation which induce atherosclerosis. Here, we describe a role of laboratory medicine for the understanding of measurement of visceral fat, abnormality of adipocytokines, and adipocytes-mediated dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertension.
