Adiponectin has been reported to exert protective effects during pathological ventricular remodeling, but the role of adiponectin in volume overload-induced heart failure remains unclear. In this ...

One of the many advantages of maintaining a normal body weight is having healthy fat, which in turn supports a healthy heart. Fat tissue is increasingly seen as more than just a storage depot -- it's ...

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, has been proposed to show antiatherogenic properties through the inhibitory effects against various growth factors. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is ...

These results demonstrate a graded inverse association between adiponectin levels and risk of diabetes in a cohort of middle-aged African-American and white men and women, representative of four U.S.

A fat-derived protein known for its effects on the liver and skeletal muscle might also serve as an energy-conserving signal to the brain during periods of starvation, suggests a new study. The ...

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the association of single nucleotide polymorphism rs1501299 in the ADIPOQ gene with body weight, insulin resistance, serum adipokine levels ...

Raising adiponectin levels (right) reduces the formation of liver tumors in male mice. [Manieri et al., 2019] Researchers in Spain have discovered a potential mechanism that may explain why liver ...

Diabetes has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and the prevention and management of diabetes is now a major global health concern. While recent studies link obesity with diabetes, ...

New research has shown that there may be a possible connection between a hormone found in body fat and the risk of dementia, adding to the growing evidence on the potential link between the condition ...

Boston, MA - High levels of adiponectin, a hormone secreted by the adipose tissue, is associated with a reduced risk of MI in men, a new study suggests [1]. "We found that high plasma adiponectin ...

Researchers in Spain have discovered that a hormone secreted by fat cells that is present at higher levels in women can stop liver cells from becoming cancerous. The study, which will be published ...
