Adiponectin: A New Regulator of Female Reproductive System
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2018 Adiponectin is the hormone that belongs to the group of adipokines, chemical agents mainly derived from the white adipose tissue. The hormone plays pleiotropic roles in the organism, but the most important function of adiponectin is the control of energy

The rab11 effector protein FIP1 regulates adiponectin trafficking and secretion.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Adiponectin is an adipokine secreted by white adipocytes involved in regulating insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. Secretion of adiponectin in adipocytes relies on the endosomal system, however, the intracellular machinery involved in mediating ...
