Table 2 Potential positive and negative aspects of chemerin action in CHC.

From: Potential Role of Leptin, Adiponectin and Three Novel Adipokines—Visfatin, Chemerin and Vaspin—in Chronic Hepatitis

Potential negative action

Potential positive action

Stimulation of transmigration and adhesion of macrophages

Improvement of insulin sensitivity Increase of glucose uptake

Enhancement of monocytes and dendritic cells

Decrease of glucose release from hepatocytes

Activation of NF-κB

Increase of MMPs synthesis and activity

Increase of IL-1β synthesis

Stimulation of IL-10 production

Enhancement of angiogenesis, increase of VEGF synthesis and activity Upregulation of TGFβ production

Decrease of TNFα production

Decrease of IL-6 synthesis Activation of NK cells
