Ramanjaneya et al 2021
Obesity and insulin resistance are key elements of the metabolic syndrome. C1Q Tumor necrosis factor-related proteins (CTRPs) have recently emerged as important regulators of metabolism as a core component in the interrelationship between insulin resistance, adiposity and inflammation.
Pharmacological intervention and lifestyle modification alter expression of CTRPs in circulation and in metabolically active tissues. CTRPs enhance metabolism and possess insulin sensitizing properties; thus, dysregulated expression of CTRPs in metabolic disorders could contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. For these reasons, CTRPs appear to be promising targets for early detection, prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders.
In this review article, Ramanjaneya and colleagues explore the role of CTRPs in the metbaolic system.

Translational Medicine Communications is an interdisciplinary forum for all scientifically valid research from across translational medicine. We publish research that focuses on the biology of disease, as well as preclinical and basic research that is closely associated with medicine. Translational Medicine Communications will also consider reviews, methodology articles, protocols and commentaries.
Our aim is to improve transparency and reproducibility within translational medicine, which is why we consider research papers regardless of outcome or significance of findings, as well as protocols for future research. We aim to serve the translational science community by publishing all scientifically valid and technically sound articles and we are dedicated to facilitating the communication between basic and clinical science.
Translational Medicine Communications is the companion journal to Journal of Translational Medicine.
Journal of Translational Medicine considers articles focusing on information derived from human experimentation to optimise the communication between basic and clinical science.
