Journal ArticleDOI
Testosterone selectively reduces the high molecular weight form of adiponectin by inhibiting its secretion from adipocytes
Aimin Xu,Aimin Xu,Kok Weng Chan,Ruby L. C. Hoo,Yu Wang,Yu Wang,Kathryn C.B. Tan,Jialiang Zhang,Baoying Chen,Michael C. Lam,Cynthia A. Tse,Garth J. S. Cooper,Karen S.L. Lam +12 more
TL;DR: The selective inhibition of HMW adip onectin by testosterone might contribute to the sex dimorphism of adiponectin in terms of its oligomeric complex distribution and could partly explain why men have higher risk to insulin resistance and atherosclerosis than women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 decreases blood glucose and improves glucose tolerance but induces hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis in mice.
Aimin Xu,Michael C. Lam,Kok Weng Chan,Yu Wang,Jialiang Zhang,Ruby L. C. Hoo,J. Y. Xu,Baoying Chen,Wing Sun Chow,Annette W.K. Tso,Karen S.L. Lam +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that ANGPTL4 is a blood-borne hormone directly involved in regulating glucoseHomeostasis, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity, and that its beneficial effect on glucose homeostasis might be useful for the treatment of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxia dysregulates the production of adiponectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 independent of reactive oxygen species in adipocytes
Baoying Chen,Karen S.L. Lam,Yu Wang,Donghai Wu,Michael C. Lam,Jiangang Shen,Lai-Ching Wong,Ruby L. C. Hoo,Jialiang Zhang,Aimin Xu +9 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that hypoxia and ROS decrease adiponectin production and augment PAI-1 expression in adipocytes via distinct signaling pathways, which may contribute to hypoadiponectinemia and elevated PAI -1 levels in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
