Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a member of the lipocalin family. As a novel adipokine, it widely presents in the tissues under the condition of metabolic disorders. More and more studies suggest that NGAL might be a marker for a variety of diseases associated with lipid metabolism. It is likely that NGAL plays an important role in obese-inflammation-induced metabolic syndrome,insulin resistance, glucose and lipid metabolism, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis pathway.
中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白(NGAL)是脂质运载蛋白家族的一员。作为一种新型脂肪因子,它在代谢紊乱情况下广泛存在于组织中。越来越多的研究表明,NGAL可能是多种与脂质代谢相关疾病的标志物。NGAL很可能在肥胖炎症诱导的代谢综合征、胰岛素抵抗、糖脂代谢、内皮功能障碍和动脉粥样硬化途径中发挥重要作用。
