Adipose Tissue as an Endocrine Organ

TL;DR: An overview of the endocrine functions of adipose tissue can be found in this paper, where the authors highlight the adverse metabolic consequences of both adipose excess and deficiency, and propose a more rational therapy for these increasingly prevalent disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipocytokines: mediators linking adipose tissue, inflammation and immunity.

TL;DR: Several adipocytokines have a central role in the regulation of insulin resistance, as well as many aspects of inflammation and immunity, and understanding this rapidly growing family of mainly adipocyte-derived mediators might be of importance in the development of new therapies for obesity-associated diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors in insulin resistance, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: The pathophysiology of adiponectin and adiponECTin receptors in insulin resistance, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome is described and potential versatile therapeutic targets to combat obesity-linked diseases characterized by insulin resistance are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin and Adiponectin Receptors

TL;DR: It is shown that AdipoR1 and AdIPoR2 serve as receptors for globular and full-length adiponectin and mediate increased AMP-activated protein kinase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha ligand activities, and glucose uptake and fatty-acid oxidation by adiponECTin.

A Novel Serum Protein Similar to C1q, Produced Exclusively in Adipocytes

TL;DR: A novel 30-kDa secretory protein, Acrp30 (adipocyte complement-related protein of 30 kDa), that is made exclusively in adipocytes and whose mRNA is induced over 100-fold during adipocyte differentiation is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adipocyte-secreted protein Acrp30 enhances hepatic insulin action

TL;DR: It is proposed that Acrp30 is a potent insulin enhancer linking adipose tissue and whole-body glucose metabolism, which triggers a transient decrease in basal glucose levels in mice treated with streptozotocin.
Journal ArticleDOI

AdipoQ is a novel adipose-specific gene dysregulated in obesity.

TL;DR: The tissue-specific expression of a putative secreted protein suggests that this factor may function as a novel signaling molecule for adipose tissue.

Novel Modulator for Endothelial Adhesion Molecules: Adipocyte-Derived Plasma Protein Adiponectin

TL;DR: Observations suggest that adiponectin modulates endothelial inflammatory response and that the measurement of plasma adiponECTin levels may be helpful in assessment of CAD risk.
