Abstract

Obesity is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases that are associated with impaired angiogenesis. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific adipocytokine with anti-atherogenic and anti-diabetic properties, and its plasma levels are reduced in association with obesity-linked diseases. Here, we investigated whether adiponectin regulates angiogenesis in response to tissue ischemia using adiponectin knock-out (KO) mice. Angiogenic repair of ischemic hind limbs was impaired in adiponectin-KO mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice as evaluated by laser Doppler flow method and capillary density analyses. Adenovirus-mediated supplement of adiponectin accelerated angiogenic repair in both adiponectin-KO and WT mice. Intramuscular injection of an adenovirus encoding dominant-negative AMP-activated kinase diminished the improvement in limb perfusion seen in WT mice and abolished the adiponectin-induced enhancement of perfusion. These data indicate that adiponectin can function to stimulate angiogenesis in response to ischemic stress by promoting AMP-activated kinase signaling. Therefore, adiponectin may be useful in the treatment for obesity-related vascular deficiency diseases.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Adipose tissue secretes several adipokines and endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors that modulate new blood vessel formation, including adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin/thrombospondin 1, and plasminogen activator inhibitor.

    “In addition to authentic angiogenic factors, AT secretes several important adipokines and endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors to modulate the balance of new blood vessel formation, including adiponectin (36,37), leptin (34), resistin (38), visfatin/thrombospondin 1 (39), and plasminogen activator inhibitor (40).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
