Nutritional control of molecular events has become of great interest given the increased
incidence of diet-induced obesity, and consequently Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) …

Peripheral adiponectin acts on the hypothalamus to inhibit energy expenditure and increase
food intake through its receptors AdipoR1 and adipoR2. The hypothalamic expression of …

White adipose tissue (WAT) is a key energy depot in humans and most animals.
Traditionally, it is believed that WAT passively accumulates triglycerides or releases fatty …

The adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin regulates glucose and lipid metabolism and
influences the risk for developing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease …

Recent studies revealed that adipose tissue is not only an energy storing organ, but is a kind
of endocrine organ which secretes a variety of bioactive substances, so-called adipokines or …

Adiponectin is an anti-inflammatory adipokine released from adipose tissue that is known to
exert insulin-sensitizing effects in skeletal muscle and liver. Given that the secretion of …

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. It is
also antiinflammatory. During obesity, adiponectin levels and sensitivity are reduced …

The knowledge of the pathogenesis of obesity and its metabolic sequelae has significantly
advanced over the last few decades and adipose tissue is now considered a link between …

Background/Aims: Adiponectin and its receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, constitute integral
components of energy homeostatic mechanism in peripheral tissues. Recent studies have …

Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors (AdipoRs) have been found to play significant roles
in the etiology of obesity-related chronic disease. Their discovery has been a long and …
