Objective Adipose tissue inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity-
associated complications, such as atherosclerosis. Adiponectin secreted from adipocytes …

Objective Despite the clinical prevalence of obesity, only recently has the importance of
adipose tissue microenvironment been addressed at a molecular level. Here, I focused on …

Adiponectin is exclusively synthesized by adipocytes and exhibits anti-diabetic, anti-
atherosclerotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Hypoadiponectinemia is associated in …

Aims Inflammation is closely associated with the development of atherosclerosis and
metabolic syndrome. Adiponectin, an adipose-derived secretory protein, possesses an anti …

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 plays an important role in atherosclerosis, but its relationship with the early
initiation of atherosclerosis in diabetes mellitus is still not completely understood. In this …

Adiponectin, an adipose tissue-specific plasma protein, was recently revealed to have anti-
inflammatory effects on the cellular components of vascular wall. Its plasma levels were …

The adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin has been proposed to play important roles in
the regulation of energy homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, and it has been reported to …

Adiponectin, adipose-specific secretory protein, abundantly circulates in bloodstream and its
concentration is around 1000-fold higher than that of other cytokines and hormones …

Epidemiological studies have associated low circulating levels of the adipokine adiponectin
with multiple metabolic disorders, including metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance …
