To examine the peripheral and central roles of adiponectin in energy intake and
expenditure, we investigated the effects of adiponectin on food intake, adiposity, sympathetic …

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

Obese (fa/fa) Zucker rat is a spontaneous genetic obesity model and, by comparison with
lean Zucker rat, exhibits hyperphagia, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperlipidemia. The aim of this …

Adiponectin (ApN) is an adipokine whose expression and plasma levels are inversely
related to obesity and insulin-resistant states. Chronic repercussions of ApN treatment or …

Adipokines play a central role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. Among them,
adiponectin (ApN), a master regulator of immune and fuel homeostasis, is decreased …

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 is known to be an anti‐diabetic adipocytokine. However, the action mechanism
by which it produces this effect remains controversial. In the present study, we investigated …

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 …

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 (ApN) is an adipokine whose expression and plasma levels are inversely
related to obesity and insulin-resistant states. The in vivo effects of a chronic expression of …
