Adiponectin--an adipokine with unique metabolic properties

Adiponectin: 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 ...

Adipokine Profiles and Metabolic Health

The epidemic of obesity is a major health problem that leads to medical and socioeconomic burdens on society. Although body mass index (BMI) has been the most commonly used measure to determine the degree of obesity, it does not necessarily reflect the degree of adiposity. Recent observations show that some subpopulations exhibit unexpected metabolic profiles that deviate from the typical dose-...
