Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Hypoadiponectinemia With Coronary Artery Disease in Men
Masahiro Kumada,Shinji Kihara,Satoru Sumitsuji,Toshiharu Kawamoto,Satoru Matsumoto,Noriyuki Ouchi,Yukio Arita,Yoshihisa Okamoto,Iichiro Shimomura,Hisatoyo Hiraoka,Tadashi Nakamura,Tohru Funahashi,Yuji Matsuzawa +12 more
TL;DR: Male patients with hypoadiponectinemia had a significant 2-fold increase in CAD prevalence, independent of well-known CAD risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiponectin Reduces Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice
Yoshihisa Okamoto,Shinji Kihara,Noriyuki Ouchi,Makoto Nishida,Yukio Arita,Masahiro Kumada,Koji Ohashi,Naohiko Sakai,Iichiro Shimomura,Hideki Kobayashi,Naoki Terasaka,Toshimori Inaba,Tohru Funahashi,Yuji Matsuzawa +13 more
TL;DR: These findings documented for the first time that elevated plasma adiponectin suppresses the development of atherosclerosis in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reciprocal Association of C-Reactive Protein With Adiponectin in Blood Stream and Adipose Tissue
Noriyuki Ouchi,Shinji Kihara,Tohru Funahashi,Tadashi Nakamura,Makoto Nishida,Masahiro Kumada,Yoshihisa Okamoto,Koji Ohashi,Hiroyuki Nagaretani,Ken Kishida,Hitoshi Nishizawa,Norikazu Maeda,Hideki Kobayashi,Hisatoyo Hiraoka,Yuji Matsuzawa +14 more
TL;DR: The reciprocal association of adiponectin and CRP levels in both human plasma and adipose tissue might participate in the development of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Adiponectin in Preventing Vascular Stenosis THE MISSING LINK OF ADIPO-VASCULAR AXIS
Morihiro Matsuda,Iichiro Shimomura,Masataka Sata,Yukio Arita,Makoto Nishida,Norikazu Maeda,Masahiro Kumada,Yoshihisa Okamoto,Hiroyuki Nagaretani,Hitoshi Nishizawa,Ken Kishida,Ryutaro Komuro,Noriyuki Ouchi,Shinji Kihara,Ryozo Nagai,Tohru Funahashi,Yuji Matsuzawa +16 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiponectin as a biomarker of the metabolic syndrome.
Miwa Ryo,Tadashi Nakamura,Shinji Kihara,Masahiro Kumada,Satomi Shibazaki,Mihoko Takahashi,Masaki Nagai,Yuji Matsuzawa,Tohru Funahashi +8 more
TL;DR: Hypoadiponectinemia is closely associated with the clinical phenotype of the metabolic syndrome and measuring the plasma concentration of adiponectin may be useful for management of the metabolism syndrome.
