MeSH definition : 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 ATHEROSCLEROSIS.;
MeSH synonym : acrp30 protein; adipocyte complement related protein 30 kda; adipocyte complement-related protein 30-kda; adipocyte, c1q and collagen domain containing protein; adipose most abundant gene transcript 1; apm 1 protein; apm-1 protein;
