Recent information concerning the white fat tissue allows considering it as endocrine system involved in the neuro-immune-endocrine interactions in regulating various aspects of homeostasis. The contribution presented sums up the latest evidence of adipocyte secreting hormones (leptine and resistine), cytokine (TNF alpha), as well as shedlight on mechanisms, involved in control of energy metabolism, immune reactions and food intake monitoring.
