Adiponectin: A novel adipokine linking adipocytes and vascular function.
Cardiovascular disease accounts for an overwhelming proportion of the morbidity and mortality suffered by patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and recent work has elucidated several potential mechanisms by which increased adiposity enhances cardiovascular risk. Excess adipose tissue, especially in certain compartments, leads to reduced insulin sensitivity in metabolically respons...
متن کاملEssential role of mitochondrial function in adiponectin synthesis in adipocytes.
OBJECTIVE Adiponectin is an important adipocytokine that improves insulin action and reduces atherosclerotic processes. The plasma adiponectin level is paradoxically reduced in obese individuals, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that mitochondrial function is linked to adiponectin synthesis in adipocytes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We ...
متن کاملAdiponectin: an adipokine with protective features against metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) as a collection of obesity-associated disorders is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, pro-thrombotic state, elevated risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin is one of the most abundant peptide hormones derived from adipose tissue. This protein plays a major role in glucose and lipid metabolism and prevents development of ...
متن کاملCross-linking vasomotor tone and vascular remodeling: a novel function for tissue transglutaminase?
Tightly regulated remodeling of arterial tissues is essential for survival in all vertebrate species. Arterial remodeling tunes development of the vasculature to the changing metabolic demands of embryonic tissues, it accommodates the extraordinary and diverse adjustments of cardiovascular function that occur at birth in both mother and neonate, and it adapts vascular structure to a host of phy...
متن کاملAdiponectin, a key adipokine in obesity related liver diseases.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprising hepatic steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and progressive liver fibrosis is considered the most common liver disease in western countries. Fatty liver is more prevalent in overweight than normal-weight people and liver fat positively correlates with hepatic insulin resistance. Hepatic steatosis is regarded as a benign stage of ...
