With the growing prevalence of obesity, scientific interest in the biology of adipose tissue has
been extended to the secretory products of adipocytes, since they are increasingly shown to …

Endothelial dysfunction is one manifestation of the many changes induced in the arterial
wall by the metabolic abnormalities accompanying diabetes and insulin resistance. In type 1 …

Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors (AdipoRs) have been found to play significant roles
in the etiology of obesity-related chronic disease. Their discovery has been a long and …
