Adiponectin is the adipokine associated with insulin sensitization, reducing liver
gluconeogenesis, and increasing fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake. Adiponectin is …

Obesity is a disease which leads to the development of many other disorders. Excessive
accumulation of lipids in adipose tissue (AT) leads to metabolic changes, including …

Adiponectin is presumed to possess antiatherogenic and cardioprotective properties.
Limited data exist on the relationship between adiponectin and mortality in the earlier stages …

Adipose tissue secretes a wide range of hormones named adipokines, and these may play a
role in obesity-related inflammation. Adiponectin is an exceptional adipokine because low …
