Adiponectin: a key fat-derived molecule regulating inflammation
Abstract
Adiponectin is the abundant adipocyte-derived protein with well-established anti-atherogenic and insulin-sensitising properties. Besides these well characterised biological functions, recent evidence supports a strong anti-inflammatory function. Whereas initial studies demonstrated that adiponectin suppresses the production of the potent pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha, current studies showed that this adipokine also induces various anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10 or -1 receptor antagonists. These effects are paralleled by various other immune-regulatory properties, such as specific effects on endothelial cell functions. These in vitro effects are directly translated into various animal models of inflammation, demonstrating a potent anti-inflammatory effect for adiponectin. Thiazolidinediones selectively upregulate peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-gamma, leading to increased tissue and serum concentrations of adiponectin. Adiponectin has emerged as a key mediator regulating and affecting the balance between fat and inflammation. Therefore, either adiponectin itself or its inducing agents, such as thiazolidinediones, might be of key therapeutic interest in the near future far beyond diseases being associated with insulin resistance.

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.
