Adiponectin Ameliorates Hyperglycemia-Induced Retinal Endothelial Dysfunction, Highlighting Pathways, Regulators, and Networks
( dovepress , 2022 , Article)Background: The pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is multifaced. A low level of circulating adiponectin (APN) in type 2 diabetes is associated with microvasculature complications, and its role in the evolution ... -
Adiponectin changes in HCV-Genotype 4: relation to liver histology and response to treatment
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2009 , Article)Summary. Recently, attention has been focussed on adiponectin and its changes in different types of chronic liver disease. Its relation to hepatic fibrosis and insulin resistance in post-hepatitis liver disease is not ... -
Association of adiponectin gene polymorphism (+T45G) with acute coronary syndrome and circulating adiponectin levels
( SAGE , 2012 , Article)We investigated the association of adiponectin gene polymorphisms (+T45G and +G276T) and adiponectin levels with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among Arabs in Qatar. A case-control study was performed in 142 Arab patients ... -
Between Inflammation and Autophagy: The Role of Leptin-Adiponectin Axis in Cardiac Remodeling
( Dove Medical Press , 2021 , Article Review)Cardiac remodeling is the process by which the heart adapts to stressful stimuli, such as hypertension and ischemia/reperfusion; it ultimately leads to heart failure upon long- term exposure. Autophagy, a cellular catabolic ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Adiponectin-Induced Attenuation of Mechanical Stretch-Mediated Vascular Remodeling
( hindawi , 2020 , Article)Hypertension induces vascular hypertrophy, which changes blood vessels structurally and functionally, leading to reduced tissue perfusion and further hypertension. It is also associated with dysregulated levels of the ...
