Adiponectin Increases Secretion of Rat Submandibular Gland via Adiponectin Receptors-Mediated AMPK Signaling

Adiponectin Increases Secretion of Rat Submandibular Gland via Adiponectin Receptors-Mediated AMPK Signaling

Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1/2) are expressed in various tissues and are involved in the regulation of multiple functions such as energy metabolism and inflammatory responses. However, the effect of adiponectin and AdipoRs in submandibular glands has not been fully evaluated. In the present study, we found that mRNA and protein of both adiponectin and AdipoR1/2 were expressed ...

Adiponectin Effect on The Viability of Human Endometrial Stromal Cells and mRNA Expression of Adiponectin Receptors

Adiponectin stimulates lipid metabolism via AMPK in rabbit blastocysts

STUDY QUESTION How does a maternal diabetic hyperadiponectineamia affect signal transduction and lipid metabolism in rabbit preimplantation blastocysts? SUMMARY ANSWER In a diabetic pregnancy increased levels of adiponectin led to a switch in embryonic metabolism towards a fatty acid-dependent energy metabolism, mainly affecting genes that are responsible for fatty acid uptake and turnover. ...

Pioglitazone increases secretion of high-molecular-weight adiponectin from adipocytes.

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived serum protein that plays important roles in energy homeostasis, obesity, and insulin sensitivity. Using sucrose gradients and Western blotting of nondenaturing gels, we examined the adiponectin isoforms secreted from human adipose tissue, human and mouse adipocytes, and cell lines in response to pioglitazone added in vitro. The predominant form secreted from ...

O-13: Gene Expression Pattern of Adiponectin and Adiponectin Receptors in Bovine Dominant and Non-Dominant Follicles

Background: Recent studies have revealed that adiponectin, a novel adipocytokine, and its two receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) are involved in regulation of ovarian function in various farm animal species. The aim of this study was to investigate the gene expression pattern of Adiponectin and its receptors in ovarian cells of dominant (DFs) and non- dominant follicles (NDFs) in the bovine. Mater...
