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 and its receptors play an important role in energy homeostasis and insulin
resistance, but their regulation remains to be fully elucidated. We hypothesized that high-fat …

Adiponectin, a physiologically active polypeptide secreted by adipocytes, shows insulin-
sensitizing, anti-inflammatory, and antiatherogenic properties in rodents and humans. To …

Aging is associated with redistribution of body fat and the development of insulin resistance.
White adipose tissue emerges as an important organ in controlling life span. Caloric …

Adiposity, particularly increased intra-abdominal fat, is a predisposing factor for the
development of insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Visceral fat seems to differ …

Adiponectin levels are decreased in subjects with obesity, diabetes and coronary artery
disease. In the present study, we have investigated whether the decrease in the levels and …

Adiponectin is an adipose-specific plasma protein whose plasma concentrations are
decreased in obese subjects and type 2 diabetic patients. This protein possesses putative …

Adiponectin is a 29-kDa adipocyte protein that has been linked to the insulin resistance of
obesity and lipodystrophy. To better understand the regulation of adiponectin expression …

Hypoadiponectinemia and decreased adiponectin gene expression in white adipose tissue
(WAT) have been well observed in obese subjects and animal models. However, the …

OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin is an adipose-specific protein with short-term effects in vivo on
glucose and fatty acid levels. We studied the plasma concentration and the proteolytic …
