GlossaryAdiponectin

protein hormone from fat cells regulating glucose and fat metabolism

Adiponectin is a protein hormone produced by fat cells that plays a crucial role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. It has anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties, making it important for metabolic processes and potentially protective against conditions like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
