Of these adipokines, adiponectin has attracted the majority of attention because it displays positive antidiabetic and antiatherogenic effects and is expected to be a novel therapeutic tool for ...

Figure 5: Targeted disruption of both Adipor1 and Adipor2 results in abrogation of adiponectin binding and adiponectin actions, leading to marked glucose intolerance and insulin resistance.

Adiponectin is a peptide hormone secreted by the adipocytes. Other cells such as skeletal and cardiac myocytes as well as endothelial cells also produce adiponectin. This hormone plays a key role ...

"Adiponectin proper can't be used in treatment because the protein is already abundant in the organism, unlike insulin, but it indicates a pathway for which novel therapeutic molecules can be ...

These results demonstrate a graded inverse association between adiponectin levels and risk of diabetes in a cohort of middle-aged African-American and white men and women, representative of four U ...

Objective: Adiponectin, synthesized in the adipose tissue, appears to play an important role in hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, as well as in inflammatory mechanisms, which lead to a markedly ...

Adiponectin shows potential in blocking obesity-related carcinogenesis Date: October 24, 2010 Source: Wiley - Blackwell Summary: Researchers investigated the role between adiponectin and leptin in ...

A registry analysis of Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes suggests that a higher concentration of circulating adiponectin, a protein typically associated with reduced cardiovascular risk ...

Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, plays a doubly important role in preserving pancreatic function: in lean people, it protects beta cells, which make insulin, and in obese people, it ...

The Human Adiponectin ELISA kit (BioVendor, Brno, Czech Republic) was used to measure serum adiponectin levels in the study patients. a P 0.05 compared with the controls To verify if the reported ...

1,2 Adiponectin is a type of adipose-derived hormone, which plays a significant role in the maintenance of systemic metabolic homeostasis. It has been reported that changes in adiponectin levels ...

They are also claimed to increase levels of adiponectin, a hormone that helps to regulate metabolism. This article examines the research behind raspberry ketones. Raspberry ketone is a natural ...
