Adiponectin is a novel adipocyte‐specific protein, which, it has been suggested, plays a role
in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Although it circulates in high …

Adipose tissue secretes proteins which may influence insulin sensitivity. Among them,
tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha has been proposed as a link between obesity and …

Despite aggressive research aimed at understanding the myriad biochemical factors that are
integrated to balance energy intake and expenditure to maintain normal body weight …

Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of referral to liver
clinics, and its progressive form, non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can lead to cirrhosis …

Adiponectin is thought to play a decisive role in the relationships among obesity, insulin
resistance and cardiovascular risk. This study investigated whether cardiomyocytes …

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific protein suggested to play a role in mediating the
metabolic effects of obesity. In the present study, we investigated adiponectin mRNA levels …

Several adipose‐derived cytokines (adipokines) have been suggested to act as a link
between accumulated fat mass and altered insulin sensitivity. Resistin and tumour necrosis …

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that plays an important role in lipid
metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Objectives of this study were 1) to determine the …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to prospectively examine whether childbearing is associated with
higher incidence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) after delivery among women of …

Objective: To examine whether childbearing is associated with increased visceral adiposity
and whether the increase is proportionally larger than other depots. Methods and …
