Numerous studies indicate that zinc and the new zinc-related adipokine, zinc-α2-
glycoprotein (ZAG), are involved in lipid metabolism. Excess body fat lowers blood …

Excessive adipose tissue promotes the manifestation of endocrine disorders such as
reduction of the secretion of zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG), an adipokine with anti-inflammatory …

Objective Zinc-α2 glycoprotein (ZAG) stimulates lipid loss by adipocytes and may be
involved in the regulation of adipose tissue metabolism. However, to date no studies have …

Context: Zinc-α2 glycoprotein (ZAG) has been proposed as a new candidate in the
pathogenesis of obesity, but most of the information stems from studies performed in rodents …

The importance of white adipose tissue in the control of energy balance is now firmly
recognized. In addition to fuel storage, adipocytes secrete an array of proteins factors …

Context: Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) is a 40-kDa circulating glycoprotein secreted from the
liver and adipose tissues. Animal studies have demonstrated the role of ZAG as a lipid …

Objective: To elucidate the association of serum ZAG level with body weight and percentage
of body fat in normal, obese subjects and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Design …

Abstract Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG, also listed as AZGP1 in the MGI Database), a lipid-
mobilising factor, has recently been suggested as a potential candidate in the modulation of …

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of the lipid depletion by zinc-α 2-glycoprotein
(ZAG). Design: Studies were conducted in the ob/ob mouse, or on isolated adipocytes from …

Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) plays an important role in the regulation of body weight, body fat,
and glucose metabolism. In this study, we first measured ZAG levels in serum and ZAG …
