Context: In the ob/ob mice, keeping adiponectin concentrations in the physiological range
(through overexpression of this gene in the adipose tissue) results in expansion of fat mass …

Adiponectin, an adipose-specific secretory protein, exhibits antidiabetic and antiatherogenic
properties. In the present study, we examined the effects of sex hormones on the regulation …

Metabolic cardiovascular diseases have become a global health concern, and some of their
risk factors are linked to several metabolic disorders. They are the leading causes of death …

Obesity is strongly associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Adiponectin is
an adipose-derived plasma protein that is downregulated in subjects with obesity-related …

This review focuses on the recent findings that adiponectin plays a significant role of in
cardiovascular diseases. Adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ by secreting …

A large number of studies revealed that adiponectin, a protein secreted specifically by
adipose tissue, exhibits antiinflammatory, antiatherogenic, and antidiabetic properties. This …

Recent research has shown that adi-pose tissue is not simply an inert storage depot for
lipids but is also an important endocrine organ that plays a key role in the integration 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 …

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived serum protein that plays important roles in energy
homeostasis, obesity, and insulin sensitivity. Using sucrose gradients and Western blotting …

The cardiometabolic syndrome, associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in the
industrialized world, is estimated to affect one in four adults. Although the mechanisms …
