TLDR
regulation of adiponectin production, its mechanism of action via receptor isoforms and signaling pathways, and its principal physiological effects (i.e., metabolic and cardiovascular) are discussed.
Abstract
The widespread physiological actions of adiponectin have now been well characterized as clinical studies and work in animal models have established strong correlations between circulating adiponectin levels and various disease-related outcomes. Thus, conventional thinking attributes many of adiponectins beneficial effects to endocrine actions of adipose-derived adiponectin. However, it is now clear that several tissues can themselves produce adiponectin and there is growing evidence that locally produced adiponectin can mediate functionally important autocrine or paracrine effects. In this review article we discuss regulation of adiponectin production, its mechanism of action via receptor isoforms and signaling pathways and its principal physiological effects (ie. metabolic and cardiovascular). The role of endocrine actions of adiponectin and changes in local production of adiponectin or its receptors in whole body physiology is discussed.

High fat diet induced changes in gastric vagal afferent response to adiponectin.

TL;DR: In HFD mice adiponectin potentiated gastric mucosal afferent responses to mucosal stroking, an effect not observed in SLD mice, and this modulatory effect is altered in HFD-induced obesity.

l-Cysteine supplementation increases adiponectin synthesis and secretion, and GLUT4 and glucose utilization by upregulating disulfide bond A-like protein expression mediated by MCP-1 inhibition in 3T3-L1 adipocytes exposed to high glucose

TL;DR: DsbA-L and adiponectin upregulation mediates the beneficial effects of LC on glucose utilization by inhibiting MCP-1 secretion in adipocytes and provides a novel mechanism by which LC supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity in diabetes.

Adiponectin gene polymorphisms associated with diabetes mellitus: A descriptive review.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) were associated with diabetes, which is the predominant form of the disease.

Adiponectin alleviates NLRP3-inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis of aortic endothelial cells by inhibiting FoxO4 in arteriosclerosis

TL;DR: It is suggested that APN might play an essential role in NLRP3 inflammasome-modulated pyroptosis by regulating FoxO4 in human aortic epithelial cells, providing a novel therapy for atherosclerosis.

Adiponectin Synthesis, Secretion and Extravasation from Circulation to Interstitial Space

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the current understanding on adiponectin action in its various target tissues and in cellular models and discuss some potential therapeutic approaches using adipogen as a target and the current challenges facing adipogen-based therapeutic interventions.

Adiponectin stimulates glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase

TL;DR: It is shown that phosphorylation and activation of the 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are stimulated with globular and full-length Ad in skeletal muscle and only with full- lengths Ad in the liver, indicating that stimulation of glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by Ad occurs through activation of AMPK.

Hypoadiponectinemia in obesity and type 2 diabetes: close association with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with low plasma adiponectin concentrations in different ethnic groups and indicate that the degree of hypoadiponectinemia is more closely related to thedegree of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia than to the level of adiposity and glucose intolerance.
