The Protein–Protein Interaction (PPI) networks of potential targets of various adipokines. a. Networks of adiponectin (ADIPOQ); b. Networks of leptin (LEP); c. Networks of resistin (RETN); d. Networks of apelin (APLN); e. Networks of visfatin (NAMPT); f. Networks of adipsin (CFD); g. Networks of omentin (ITLN1); h. Networks of chemerin (RARRES2); i. Networks of metrnl (METRNL) (a-i: the orange oval represents adipokines, the green oval denotes non-self receptor proteins, and the purple oval signifies self receptor proteins); j. Networks of various adipokines and receptors; k. Ranking of adipokines and receptors (The darker node indicates a higher ranking); (all PPI enrichment p-value < 0.05)
