Lipid-filled adipocytes release the hormones adiponectin, leptin, and resistin, which target various tissues to affect their metabolic actions. Adiponectin targets the liver, skeletal muscles, bone, cartilage, heart, and adipose tissues. Leptin primarily targets the brain and central nervous system, while resistin targets adipose tissues, liver endothelium, and heart.
