Peritoneal Adipocytes and Their Role in Inflammation during Peritoneal Dialysis
Figure 2
Schematic model illustrates the roles of adipokines or cytokines from adipose tissue on the repair of mesothelium under the context of CAPD. DPPIV indicates aminopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase IV; CXCR4, G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor; SDF-1, stromal derived factor-1; SVF, stromal vascular fraction; TGF-, transforming growth factor-; TNF-, tumor necrosis factor-; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
