Résumé
Sepsis is a serious life-threatening organ dysfunction disease caused by the body′s response to infection, which is the main cause of death in patients admitted to ICU.The occurrence, development and prognosis of sepsis are closely related to metabolism and regulation of inflammatory response.Adipose tissue not only participates in energy storage and metabolism, but also, as an important endocrine organ, secretes a variety of adipokines with pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory activities, and thus participates in the occurrence and development of sepsis.There are many kinds of adipokines, and different adipokines play different roles in sepsis and sepsis-related organ damage.Some adipokines such as adiponectin, adipokine complement Clq/tumor necrosis factor-associated protein 3, vaspin, irisin and Apelin are closely related with the pathogenesis and prognosis of organ injury in sepsis.
