Adiponectin: a key adipocytokine in metabolic syndrome.
The metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic disorders often associated with visceral obesity, increases cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. As the body's largest endocrine organ, adipose tissue not only stores excess body energy, but also secretes a variety of bioactive adipocytokines. Obese patients, particularly those with visceral fat accumulation, have reduced plasma levels of adipon...
متن کاملBrain adipocytokine action and metabolic regulation.
Adipose tissue secretes factors that control various physiological systems. The fall in leptin during fasting mediates hyperphagia and suppresses thermogenesis, thyroid and reproductive hormones, and immune system. On the other hand, rising leptin levels in the fed state stimulate fatty acid oxidation, decrease appetite, and limit weight gain. These divergent effects of leptin occur through neu...
متن کاملUnlocking diamond's potential as an electronic material.
In this paper, we review the suitability of diamond as a semiconductor material for high-performance electronic applications. The current status of the manufacture of synthetic diamond is reviewed and assessed. In particular, we consider the quality of intrinsic material now available and the challenges in making doped structures suitable for practical devices. Two practical applications are co...
متن کاملVisfatin, an adipocytokine with proinflammatory and immunomodulating properties.
Adipocytokines are mainly adipocyte-derived cytokines regulating metabolism and as such are key regulators of insulin resistance. Some adipocytokines such as adiponectin and leptin affect immune and inflammatory functions. Visfatin (pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor) has recently been identified as a new adipocytokine affecting insulin resistance by binding to the insulin receptor. In this stu...
متن کاملAssociation of Adiponectin rs1501299 Gene Polymorphism with Adiponectin Levels and Type 2 Diabetes in an Iranian Population
Background and Objectives: Adiponectin is an adipokine, which is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue and has a potent roles in insulin sensitivity. This study aimed to test the association of single nucleotide polymorphism of rs1501299 of the adiponectin gene with adiponectin levels and type 2 diabetes. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 80 diabetic patients with fasting bl...
