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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Iron-dependent ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic cell death mechanism, is gaining attention for its role in immune suppression. Ferroptosis, driven by excessive lipid peroxides and iron-dependent ...

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 ...

This graphical abstract shows how T-cells alter the metabolism of amino acids to cause ferroptosis. [University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center] “Cancer immunotherapy restores or enhances the ...

Researchers report on a newly discovered biochemical pathway that protects cells from a type of cell death called ferroptosis. The hallmarks of cancer include rapid cell reproduction and metabolic ...

In a recent review published in the Cell Death Discovery Journal, researchers explored the association between ferroptosis and male reproductive failure, emphasizing the need for tailored ...

Patrizia Agostinis (VIB-KU Leuven) has found that melanoma cell populations protect themselves from a form of cell death called ferroptosis by secreting the lipoprotein apolipoprotein E (ApoE).

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 ...
