Reciprocal Inhibition of Adiponectin and Innate Lung Immune Responses to Chitin and Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
Chitin is a structural biopolymer found in numerous organisms, including pathogenic fungi, and recognized as an immune-stimulating pathogen associated molecular pattern by pattern recognition molecules of the host immune system.

A novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific for high-molecular-weight adiponectin
Human plasma contains at least three forms of adiponectin: a trimer, a hexamer, and a high-molecular-weight (HMW) multimer. We purified HMW adiponectin from human plasma using its affinity to gelatin and obtained monoclonal antibodies against it.

Adiponectin protects against paraquat-induced lung injury by attenuating oxidative/nitrative stress. [PDF]
The specific mechanisms underlying paraquat (PQ)-induced lung injury remain unknown, which limits understanding of its cytotoxic potential. Although oxidative stress has been established as an important mechanism underlying PQ toxicity, multiple ...

Short-term overfeeding increases circulating adiponectin independent of obesity status. [PDF]
Adiponectin is an adipose tissue derived hormone which strengthens insulin sensitivity. However, there is little data available regarding the influence of a positive energy challenge (PEC) on circulating adiponectin and the role of obesity status on this

Adiponectin and Adiponectin Receptors in Human Pheochromocytoma
Recent studies have demonstrated that serum adiponectin and its receptors in adipose and muscle tissues are suppressed in diabetic or obese individuals. Patients with pheochromocytoma are frequently diabetic.Using real-time PCR, we examined mRNA expressions of adiponectin (Adp) and adiponectin receptor 1 (AdpR1) and AdpR2 in pheochromocytoma tissues ...

Adiponectin Signaling Regulates Lipid Production in Human Sebocytes. [PDF]
Adiponectin plays important roles in metabolic function, inflammation and multiple biological activities in various tissues. However, evidence for adiponectin signaling in sebaceous glands is lacking, and its role remains to be clarified.

Effects of physical exercise on adiponectin, leptin, and inflammatory markers in childhood obesity: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: New findings on adipose tissue physiology and obesity-Associated inflammation status suggest that modification of the adipokine level can be relevant for the long-Term prevention of obesity-Associated chronic disease. Objectives: The scope of

Adiponectin/adiponectin receptor in disease and aging
AbstractAdipocytes are not merely organs for energy conservation but endocrine organs secreting a wide array of physiologically active substances, i.e., adipokines. Of these adipokines, adiponectin is known to exert anti-diabetic and anti-atherosclerotic effects via adiponectin receptors (AdipoR)s, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2.

Adiponectin forms a complex with atherogenic LDL and inhibits its downstream effects
Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived protein, has antiatherogenic and antidiabetic effects, but how it confers the atherogenic effects is not well known.
