The obesity epidemic has focused attention on the endocrine function of adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue secretes leptin, cytokines, complement factors, and components of the …

Adiponectin is a recently identified adipose tissue-derived protein (adipocytokine) with
important metabolic effects. It is exclusively expressed in adipose tissue and released into …

Adiponectin is a white and brown adipose tissue hormone, also known as gelatin-binding
protein-28 (GBP28), AdipoQ, adipocyte complement-related protein (ACRP30), or apM1 …

Adiponectin is the most abundant adipose-specific protein. Its expression is reduced in
obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and plasma concentrations are inversely …

Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the United States is obese. The connection between obesity and
insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease is a well researched one …

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific factor, first described in 1995. Over the past two
decades, numerous studies have elucidated the physiological functions of adiponectin in …

Adipose tissue is an active metabolic tissue that secretes multiple metabolically important
proteins, known as adipokines. Adiponectin is an important adipokine because of its …

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 …

Several adipocyte-secreted factors have been demonstrated to potentially link obesity,
insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. Among those, adiponectin is an insulin …

Recent studies emphasize the role played by adiponectin in the homeostasis of adipose
tissue and in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and …
