Adiponectin is a novel polypeptide that is highly specific to adipose tissue. In contrast to
other adipocytokines, adiponectin levels are decreased in obesity and associated …

Adiponectin has been identified as one of the “adipocytokines” that are derived only from
adipose tissue, and are abundantly present in circulating blood. Adiponectin has protective …

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 …

Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the United States is obese. The connection between obesity and
insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease is a well researched one …

A large number of studies revealed that adiponectin, a protein secreted specifically by

Visceral fat accumulation has a marked impact on atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases
and metabolic syndrome clustering diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Adiponectin …

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

Adipose tissue, which classically has been considered as an energy-storing organ, is now
viewed as a massive source of bioactive substances such as leptin, tumor necrosis factor …

In this review article, the crucial roles of adipocytes in the development of so-called
metabolic syndrome and vascular disease are reviewed, focusing on adipocyte-derived …

Adiponectin is a white and brown adipose tissue hormone, also known as gelatin-binding
