Abstract EN
Reproduction is a complex and essential physiological process required by all species to produce a new generation.
This process involves strict hormonal regulation, depending on a connection between the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis and peripheral organs.
Metabolic homeostasis influences the reproductive functions, and its alteration leads to disturbances in the reproductive functions of humans as well as animals.
For a long time, adipose tissue has been recognised as an endocrine organ but its ability to secrete and release hormones called adipokines is now emerging.
Adipokines have been found to play a major role in the regulation of metabolic and reproductive processes at both central and peripheral levels.
Leptin was initially the first adipokine that has been described to be the most involved in the metabolism/reproduction interrelation in mammals.
In avian species, the role of leptin is still under debate.
Recently, three novel adipokines have been discovered: adiponectin (ADIPOQ, ACRP30), visfatin (NAMPT, PBEF), and chemerin (RARRES2, TIG2).
However, their mode of action between mammalian and nonmammalian species is different due to the different reproductive and metabolic systems.
Herein, we will provide an overview of the structure and function related to metabolic and reproductive mechanisms of the latter three adipokines with emphasis on avian species.
