As one of the key adipokines, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is suggested to positively correlate with insulin resistance; however, not all clinical studies support this association. Although some explanations are proposed for this discrepancy, the temporal aspect of RBP4 secretion has not been considered. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like (also known as BMAL1) and its target D site-binding protein (DBP) are both pivotal transcription factors of the circadian core clock. Given the overwhelming presence of circadian control in metabolism and the principal role of the liver in RBP4 secretion, we hypothesised that RBP4 may oscillate under the control of BMAL1 and act as a hepatokine, participating in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis by the circadian clock.

RBP4 functions as a hepatokine in the regulation of glucose metabolism by the circadian clock in mice
