Obesity, which is characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the body, has become one of the greatest public health challenges. Obesity is not only associated with health problems linked to increased weight-dependent pressure overload on lung, joints and bones, but also a important risk factor for life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Visfatin, an adipokine that is highly enriched in the visceral fat, has increased expression level in plasma during the development of obesity, implying its important role in obesity. Visfatin (also known as PBEF and Nampt), a 52 kDa cytoplasmic protein composed of 473-amino acids, is expressed primarily in bone marrow, muscle and liver tissue but can also be detected in placenta, lung, kidney and heart tissue. In addition to its role in obesity, visfatin also has other biological functions. Visfatin is a nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) enzyme that catalyzes first step in the biosynthesis of NAD from nicotinamide. Visfatin has also been reported to be a cytokine (PBEF) that promotes B cell maturation and inhibits neutrophil apoptosis.
