The Relationship Between Bone Morphogenic Protein-4 and Visceral-Central Adiposity
BMP-4 may play a role in the modulation of obesity and hepatosteatosis. These findings suggest that BMP-4 expression decreases during initial weight gain, but increases in obese individuals. This suggests that BMP-4 increases with the onset of obesity. An increase in BMP-4 levels at the onset of obesity initiates the activation of resistance mechanisms.
