Lipocalin-2 is a glycoprotein constitutively secreted by adipocytes.In obese human subjects, the circulating lipocalin-2 level is elevated and positively correlated with systolic arterial blood pressure, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.In mice, deficiency of lipocalin-2 protects against aging-and obesity-induced endothelial dysfunction.
