Improving physical function and mobility in a continuously expanding elderly population
emerges as a high priority of medicine today. Muscle mass, strength/power, and maximal …

Adiponectin is an adipose tissue–secreted endogenous insulin sensitizer, which plays a key
role as a mediator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ action. Adiponectin alters …

Recent studies have demonstrated that obesity is a significant risk factor for the development
of several malignancies, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain to be fully …

Recent evidence indicates a convergence of molecular targets for both prevention and
therapy of cancer. Signal‐transducer‐and‐activator‐of‐transcription‐3 (STAT3), a member …

It is well established that obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer and that blood levels of
adiponectin, a hormone mainly secreted by white adipocytes, are inversely correlated with …

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone that plays an important role in diabetes and
cardiovascular disease, may also be of importance in the development and progression of …

Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract. Obesity is a
strong risk factor for endometrial cancer. Adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ that …

Adiponectin exerts anti-inflammatory effects via macrophages, suppressing the production of
pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Here, we …

Introduction Adiponectin is an adipokine that regulates energy metabolism and insulin
sensitivity, but recent studies have pointed also to a role in inflammation and arthritis. The …

Prostate cancer is associated with obesity. However, the molecular basis of this association
is not well known. Adiponectin is a major adipose cytokine that decreases in circulation in …
