Adiponectin is very important adipokine involved in the control of fat metabolism and
Insulin sensitivity, with direct anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory
activities. Stimulates AMPK phosphorylation and activation in the liver and the skeletal
muscle, enhancing glucose utilization and fatty-acid combustion. Antagonizes α-TNF
by negatively regulating its expression in various tissues such as liver and
macrophages, and also by counteracting its effects. Inhibits endothelial NF-kappa-B
signaling through a c-AMP-dependent pathway. May play a role in cell growth,
angiogenesis and tissue remodeling by binding and sequestering various factors with
distinct binding affinities, depending on the type of complex, LMW, MMW or HMW.
