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 ...

Adiponectin and metabolic syndrome.

In this review article, the crucial roles of adipocytes in the development of so-called metabolic syndrome and vascular disease are reviewed, focusing on adipocyte-derived bioactive substances, adipocytokines. Recent progress in adipocyte biology shows that adipocytes are not merely energy-storing cells but that they secrete a variety of hormones cytokines, growth factors, and other bioactive s...

Meglumine Exerts Protective Effects against Features of Metabolic Syndrome and Type II Diabetes

Metabolic syndrome, diabetes and diabetes complications pose a growing medical challenge worldwide, accentuating the need of safe and effective strategies for their clinical management. Here we present preclinical evidence that the sorbitol derivative meglumine (N-methyl-D-glucamine) can safely protect against several features of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, as well as elicit enhancement in...
