Definition
English
:
A 30-kDa COMPLEMENT C1Q-related protein, the most abundant gene product secreted by FAT CELLS of the white
ADIPOSE TISSUE
.
Adiponectin
modulates several physiological processes, such as
metabolism
of
GLUCOSE
and
FATTY ACIDS
, and immune responses. Decreased
plasma
adiponectin
levels are associated with
INSULIN RESISTANCE
; TYPE 2
DIABETES MELLITUS
;
OBESITY
; and
