Background: There are accumulating evidences showing the role of adiponectin, a newly discovered adipocytokine secreted from adipose tissue, in the regulation of the ovarian function in dairy cows. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of serum adiponectin concentration during a normal estrous cycle in the postpartum dairy cows. Materials and Methods: Coccygeal vein blo...

Background: Adipokins are cytokines predominantely or exclusively expressed by adipose tissue that circulate and affect target tissues. Four known adipokines, adiponectin, visfatin/PBEF, omentin and vaspin, all increase tissue sensitivity to insulin, and are thus described as ’beneficial’. In this review such biological actions and potential roles of the adipokines leptin, adiponectin and resis...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: adipose tissue as an endocrine organ secretes adiponectin that is a cardiovascular atherosclerosis-modulating factor. however, some studies showed that adiponectin reduces obesity. in the present study, adiponectin association with body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc), visceral adipose tissue (vat) and subcutaneous visceral ti...

background: adiponectin is one of the most important adipocytokines that regulate male and female fertility via adipor1 and adipor2 receptors. recently expression of adiponectin system and its negative regulatory role on hypothalamus-pituitary axis have been confirmed. objectives: no information is available about the expression pattern of adiponectin and its receptors in hypothalamus-pituitary...

objective: adiponectin and its receptors (adipor1 and adipor2), known as adiponectin system, have some proven roles in the fat and glucose metabolisms. several studies have shown that adiponectin can be considered as a candidate in linking metabolism to testicular function. in this regard, we evaluated the correlation between sperm mrna abundance of adiponectin and its receptors, with sperm mot...

Adiponectin, a hormone secreted from adipocytes, is closely associated with psoriasis and suppresses psoriasiform inflammation. Recently, small-sized transdermally deliverable 5-mer peptide (GLYYF; P5) was discovered as potential adiponectin receptor 1 agonist. This study aims at confirming the reduction of protein level in human skin investigating whether functional replenishment by topical P5...
