PPARγ Ligands Increase Expression and Plasma Concentrations of Adiponectin, an Adipose-Derived Protein

TL;DR: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) might prevent atherosclerotic vascular disease in insulin-resistant patients by inducing the production of adiponectin through direct effect on its promoter and antagonizing the effect of TNF-alpha on the adiponECTin promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgens Decrease Plasma Adiponectin, an Insulin-Sensitizing Adipocyte-Derived Protein

TL;DR: The results indicate that androgens decrease plasma adiponectin and that androgen-induced hypoadiponectinemia may be related to the high risks of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in men.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Adiponectin in Preventing Vascular Stenosis THE MISSING LINK OF ADIPO-VASCULAR AXIS

TL;DR: An adipo-vascular axis, a direct link between fat and artery, is suggested and a therapeutic strategy to increase plasma adiponectin should be useful in preventing vascular restenosis after angioplasty.
