Adiponectin: a regulator of energy homeostasis.
Adiponectin, a protein produced exclusively in adipose tissue, occurs in serum in relatively high concentration. Its concentration is decreased in obese and in type 2 diabetic humans. When administered to mice, it enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and appears to increase free fatty acid oxidation in muscle. Adiponectin is likely to be involved in the regulation of energy homeo...
متن کاملVagal leptin signalling: A double agent in energy homeostasis?
Figure 1: Illustration of the effect of leptin on appetite regulation within the central nervous system and on peripheral vagal afferents under standard and high fat diet induced obese conditions. In this issue of Molecular Metabolism, de Lartigue et al. reveal the effect of leptin receptor depletion in vagal afferents on food intake and weight regulation. de Lartigue et al. showed deletion of ...
متن کاملHypothalamic AMPK as a Regulator of Energy Homeostasis
Activated in energy depletion conditions, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) acts as a cellular energy sensor and regulator in both central nervous system and peripheral organs. Hypothalamic AMPK restores energy balance by promoting feeding behavior to increase energy intake, increasing glucose production, and reducing thermogenesis to decrease energy output. Besides energy state, many hormone...

متن کامل20 years of leptin: role of leptin in energy homeostasis in humans.
The hyperphagia, low sympathetic nervous system tone, and decreased circulating concentrations of bioactive thyroid hormones that are common to states of congenital leptin deficiency and hypoleptinemia following and during weight loss suggest that the major physiological function of leptin is to signal states of negative energy balance and decreased energy stores. In weight-reduced humans, thes...
