Definition

  • This entry describes the adipose tissue hormone, adiponectin, its physical characteristics, and the variations with body fatness, gender, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular disease, highlighting possible links between its circulating size and form and metabolic and antiinflammatory actions. Adiponectin, also known as Acrp30 or AdipoQ, is a hormone almost exclusively produced by adipose tissue. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Adiponectin]
