Abstract
In this paper we reviewed current knowledge about the relationship between chemerin and lower gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). A more detailed understanding of the role of the adipose tissue in the GI tract will not only unravel the pathophysiology of chronic intestinal diseases, but may also indicate a new therapeutic tool for their management.
