Adipocytes as an Important Source of Serum S100B and Possible Roles of This Protein in Adipose Tissue

Table 1

Evidence of modulated S100B release in adipocytes.

Modulatory Agent	Effect	Preparation	Reference
Catecholamines	↑ release	epididymal fat pads	[27]
Catecholamines	↓ intracellular content	in vivo (adipose tissue)	[28, 29]
Epinephrine, ACTH and cAMP	↑ release	epididymal fat pads isolated adipocytes	[30]
Insulin	↓ release	epididymal fat pads	[31]
Free fatty acids	↑ release	epididymal fat pads	[32]
Epinephrine	↑ release	isolated adipocytes	[33]
	↑ basal release	isolated adipocytes	[25]
