Background: Little is known about the regulation of adiponectin. Animal studies suggest
local regulation by adipocytokines or alterations in energy expenditure, and studies in …

The metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic disorders often associated with visceral
obesity, increases cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. As the body's largest endocrine …

Adiponectin is involved in the control of energy homeostasis in peripheral tissues through
Adipor1 and Adipor2 receptors. An increasing amount of evidence suggests that this …

Adiponectin (ApN) is an adipokine whose expression and plasma levels are inversely
related to obesity and insulin-resistant states. The in vivo effects of a chronic expression of …

Since its discovery in 1995 adiponectin has garnered considerable interest from the
academic, clinical and biotech communities due to its proposed salutary anti-inflammatory …

Objective: This study was designed to test whether adiponectin plays a role in diet‐induced
obesity and insulin resistance and acts as a mediator to induce or inhibit specific metabolic …

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived protein suggested to be involved in energy
homeostasis and in lipid and glucose metabolism. Little is known regarding the …

Adiponectin, one of the messenger molecules secreted from adipose tissue that are
collectively termed adipokines, has been demonstrated to play a central role in lipid and …

Background Adiponectin is the most abundant plasma protein synthesized for the most part
in adipose tissue, and it is an insulin-sensitive hormone, playing a central role in glucose …

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived plasma protein, has been shown to play an important role
in the regulation of fatty acid and glucose metabolism. Adiponectin enhances fatty acid …
