From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 131, Issue 22) Peer-ReviewedThe endocannabinoid system regulates appetite and energy expenditure and inhibitors of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB-1) induce weight loss with improvement in components of the metabolic syndrome. While CB-1 blockage in...

From:Diabetes (Vol. 51, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedAdiponectin is a protein secreted by adipocytes that modulates insulin action. To assess whether variants of this gene contribute to the prevalence of insulin resistance in Caucasians, we genotyped 413 nondiabetic...

From:Diabetes (Vol. 49, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedWe have recently identified a serum protein, Acrp30 (adipocyte complement-related protein of 30kDa), a secretory protein expressed exclusively in adipose tissue. Our structural studies established Acrp30 as the founding...

From:Diabetes (Vol. 56, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE--Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific secretory protein found in circulation in several different forms and is present at significantly lower levels in the plasma of diabetic patients compared with that of...

From:Diabetes (Vol. 55, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedCommon single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ACDC adiponectin encoding gene have been associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in several populations. Here, we investigate the role of SNPs...

From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 129, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe study of beige adipose tissue (BeAT) has recently gained popularity because of its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic disorders. While BeAT regulation is well...

From:Diabetes (Vol. 55, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedResistin levels are increased in obesity, and hyperresistinemia impairs glucose homeostasis in rodents. Here, we have determined the role of resistin in ob/ob mice that are obese and insulin resistant because of genetic...

From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedCirculating resistin stimulates endogenous glucose production (GP). Here, we report that bi-directional changes in hypothalamic resistin action have dramatic effects on GP and proinflammatory cytokine expression in the...

From:eLife (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedDespite many angiogenic factors playing crucial roles in metabolic homeostasis, effects of angiopoietin-2 (ANG-2) in adipose tissue (AT) remain unclear. Utilizing a doxycycline-inducible AT-specific ANG-2 overexpression...
