Did you mean Adiponectin?

Glossary Adiponectin

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.

research Serum Levels of Retinol-Binding Protein 4 and Adiponectin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Associations with Visceral Fat But No Evidence for Fat Mass-Independent Effects on Pathogenesis in This Condition

44 citations , April 2008 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism”

research Adiponectin Signaling Regulates Lipid Production in Human Sebocytes

32 citations , January 2017 in “PLoS ONE”

This study found that adiponectin significantly enhanced lipid production in human sebaceous glands and may be a potential target for treating conditions with reduced sebum production.

research The metabolic syndrome- associated small G protein ARL15 plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion

23 citations , December 2017 in “Scientific Reports”

This study found that the ARL15 gene affects adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion, and suggests that ARL15 haploinsufficiency may predispose individuals to lipodystrophy.

research Hair Growth–Promoting Effects of Adiponectin In Vitro

22 citations , June 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”
