Differential transendothelial transport of adiponectin complexes
BACKGROUND Adiponectin's effects on systemic physiology and cell-specific responses are well-defined, but little is known about how this insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory adipokine reaches its target cells. All molecules face active and passive transport limitations, but adiponectin is particularly noteworthy due to the diverse size range and high molecular weights of its oligomers. Add...
متن کاملChanges of adiponectin oligomer composition by moderate weight reduction.
Adiponectin affects lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. However, adiponectin circulates in three different oligomers that may also have distinct biological functions. We aimed to analyze the role of these oligomers in obesity and lipid metabolism after weight reduction. A total of 17 obese volunteers (15 women and 2 men) participated in a weight reduction program. Individuals were charact...
متن کاملTransendothelial Transport and Its Role in Therapeutics
Present review paper highlights role of BBB in endothelial transport of various substances into the brain. More specifically, permeability functions of BBB in transendothelial transport of various substances such as metabolic fuels, ethanol, amino acids, proteins, peptides, lipids, vitamins, neurotransmitters, monocarbxylic acids, gases, water, and minerals in the peripheral circulation and int...
متن کاملActive transendothelial transport of albumin. Interstitium to lumen.
Cultured porcine pulmonary artery endothelial monolayers actively transport albumin from interstitium to lumen. The active process favors interstitial to luminal transport by a factor of 10 even in the face of a 2:1 luminal:interstitial albumin gradient. The active process is abolished by treatment with 1 mM sodium cyanide. Dextran is not actively transported. This process could be important in...
متن کاملRole of dying endothelial cells in transendothelial macromolecular transport.
There are focal areas in the aorta with an enhanced endothelial permeability to macromolecules, as indicated by the focal uptake of the protein-binding azo dye Evans blue in vivo. These areas exhibit high rates of endothelial cell turnover and a number of structural characteristics in en face endothelial morphology. To determine the relationship of endothelial cell death to macromolecular leaka...
