Adipose differentiation-related protein regulates lipids and insulin in pancreatic islets
The excess accumulation of lipids in islets is thought to contribute to the development of diabetes in obesity by impairing β-cell function. However, lipids also serve a nutrient function in islets, and fatty acids acutely increase insulin secretion. A better understanding of lipid metabolism in islets will shed light on complex effects of lipids on β ...

Structure of the Gene Encoding Mouse Adipose Differentiation-Related Protein (ADRP)
Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) is a novel 50-kDa membrane-associated protein whose message levels are induced rapidly and maximally after triggering adipocyte differentiation. The gene encoding mouse ADRP has been isolated and characterized from four overlapping lambda phage clones.

Impaired mRNA splicing and proteostasis in preadipocytes in obesity-related metabolic disease
Preadipocytes are crucial for healthy adipose tissue expansion. Preadipocyte differentiation is altered in obese individuals, which has been proposed to contribute to obesity-associated metabolic disturbances. Here, we aimed at identifying the pathogenic

Induction of Adipose Differentiation Related Protein and Neutral Lipid Droplet Accumulation in Keratinocytes by Skin Irritants [PDF]
Keratinocytes play an important role in skin irritation. In an attempt to investigate mechanistic bases of human skin irritation response, we recently identified the upregulation by skin irritants of adipose differentiation related protein (ADRP) in reconstituted human epidermis.

Effect of Adipose Differentiation-Related Protein (ADRP) on Glucose Uptake of Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Background: Skeletal muscle is the most important tissue contributing to insulin resistance. Several studies have shown that accumulation of intramyocellular lipid is associated with the development of insulin resistance. Thus, proteins involved in lipid transport, storage and metabolism might also be involved in insulin action in skeletal muscle ...

Transcriptional fingerprinting of "browning" white fat identifies NRG4 as a novel adipokine [PDF]
Brown adipocytes help to maintain body temperature by the expression of a unique set of genes that facilitate cellular metabolic events including uncoupling protein 1-dependent thermogenesis.

RAB37 Promotes Adipogenic Differentiation of hADSCs via the TIMP1/CD63/Integrin Signaling Pathway
The adipogenic differentiation ability of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) is critical for the construction of tissue engineering adipose, which shows promising applications in plastic surgery and regenerative medicine.

Evaluation of the relationship between GPR43 and adiposity in human
Background GPR43 is a G-protein-coupled receptor that participates in adipocyte differentiation in mice and is over-expressed in adipose tissue of obese mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the implication of GPR43 in adipogenesis in humans and
