Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) is a novel myokine that reduces lipid accumulation and induces lipolysis in adipocytes

Introduction LCN-2 is an acute phase protein, first identified as an adipokine secreted by adipose tissue. Contradictory experimental results show that LCN-2 is involved in pro- and anti-inflammatory states and can both increase and decrease insulin resistance. However, whilst the Lipocalin-2 prote...
