Dietary fat sources modulate fasting serum concentration of adipokines, particularly adiponectin. However, previous studies utilized obese animals in which adipose tissue function is severely altered.

Serum adiponectin concentration was similarly associated with cancer-related deaths (HR = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.03-1.47), ... Although adiponectin, a hormone from the fat ...

The fat-generated hormone adiponectin plays an important role in the energetic capacity of skeletal muscle, according to a new study in the July, 2006, Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press.

Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, plays a doubly important role in preserving pancreatic function: in lean people, it protects beta cells, which make insulin, and in obese people, it ...

Low serum adiponectin levels predict an increased future risk for developing asthma in middle-aged women, particularly among smokers, according to a new study. Advanced Search. Home; ...

Background Adiponectin and leptin are closely related to weight control and energy balance, whereas exercise training has beneficial effects in obese men. Hence, the objective of this study was to ...

Researchers collected blood serum samples from 121 children diagnosed with NHL from 1996 to 2006 and a similar number of healthy controls. The average age of patients was 8.8 years; 76% were News News ...

In contrast to existing data on serum adiponectin, this study assesses whether urinary adiponectin excretion might represent a more consistent vascular damage marker in type 2 diabetes.

Higher serum adiponectin, but not leptin, levels were independently associated with childhood NHL (odds ratio, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.30 to 2.56), after adjusting for obesity and established risk factors.

Visceral fat: Fat stored deep in the belly and around organs has a major impact on the liver, an organ critical to metabolism. It’s also linked to diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer ...
