Funded Activity Summary

Adiponectin is a hormone secreted by fat cells with anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic and insulin sensitising properties. Adiponectin levels and actions are compromised in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Adponectin mediates its effects via two receptors but the mechanisms are poorly understood. This proposal aims to define the underlying mechanisms with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic strategies to improve adiponectin's actions.
