Adiponectin is functionally active in human islets but does not affect insulin secretory function or beta-cell lipoapoptosis.
- Abstract:
-
CONTEXT: The adipokine adiponectin has insulin-sensitizing, antiatherogenic, and antiinflammatory properties. Mouse and human adiponectin receptor-1 and -2 have been cloned, both of which are expressed in various tissues and mediate effects of globular and full-length adiponectin. Whether adiponectin affects insulin secretion and beta-cell apoptosis and whether plasma adiponectin is associated with beta-cell function in humans is under investigation. DESIGN AND METHODS: In human islets from m...
