Potential Functions of the BMP Family in Bone, Obesity, and Glucose Metabolism

Figure 1

Effects of BMPs (BMP9, BMP4, BMP2, BMP7, and BMP6) on bone, obesity, and glucose metabolism. BMP: bone morphogenetic protein; WAT: white adipose tissue; BAT: brown adipose tissue; IR: insulin resistance; SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT: visceral adipose tissue; BMD: bone mineral density.
