Adiponectin circulates as low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight multimers (LMW, MMW, and HMW) and influences lipid profile and insulin resistance (IR), HMW being considered as the most biologically ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, Toronto, Canada, have discovered that adiponectin, a protein secreted from adipocytes, is a metabolic link that can explain, in part, the ...

Results from previous studies suggest that adiponectin levels are associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, the genetic and/or environmental ...

Adiponectin is an adipokine secreted primarily from adipose tissue that can influence circulating plasma glucose and lipid levels through multiple mechanisms involving a variety of organs. In humans, ...

Diabetes has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and the prevention and management of diabetes is now a major global health concern. While recent studies link obesity with diabetes, ...

Abbreviations: SD, standard deviation; BMI, body mass index. Student's test matched variable. χ 2 for trend/contrast matched variable. Serum adiponectin levels were significantly higher in NHL ...

Adiponectin plays a very important role in the process of pathogenesis of dyslipidaemia. The presence of adiponectin affects the HDL and LDL metabolism. Adiponectin is a fat tissue, which is a derived ...

Objectives: We examined the effects of rosiglitazone: 1) on glucose homeostasis, insulin action, beta-cell function, and plasma adiponectin and TNF-alpha (TNF-α) levels; and 2) the expression of ...

Influence of Race, Insurance, Socioeconomic Status, and Hospital Type on Receipt of Guideline-Concordant Adjuvant Systemic Therapy for Locoregional Breast Cancers We measured circulating lipids, ...
