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 …

Adiponectin is an adipokine that is specifically and abundantly expressed in adipose tissue
and directly sensitizes the body to insulin. Hypoadiponectinemia, caused by interactions of …

Adiponectin is an abundantly expressed adipokine in adipose tissue and has direct insulin
sensitizing activity. We have proposed the following adiponectin hypothesis. Interactions of …

Adiponectin is one of the most thoroughly studied adipocytokines. Low plasma levels of
adiponectin are found to associate with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and many …

Adipokines, that is factors secreted by adipose tissue, act through a network of autocrine,
paracrine, and endocrine pathways to regulate several aspects of physiology, including …

Obesity and insulin resistance have been recognised as leading causes of major health
issues, particularly diabetes type 2 and metabolic syndrome. Although obesity, defined as …

Type 2 diabetes is an emerging health challenge all over the world as a result of
urbanization, high prevalence of obesity, sedentary lifestyle and other stress related factors …

The increasing prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance has
attracted considerable interest due to their identification as risk factors for cardiovascular …

Adiponectin is a recently identified adipose tissue-derived protein (adipocytokine) with
important metabolic effects. It is exclusively expressed in adipose tissue and released into …

Adiponectin is a novel adipocyte‐specific protein, which, it has been suggested, plays a role
in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Although it circulates in high …
