Descriptor adiponectina
Scope note: Proteína de 30 kDa, relacionada con la FRACCIÓN C1Q DEL COMPLEMENTO, el producto génico más abundante secretado por las CÉLULAS GRASAS del TEJIDO ADIPOSO blanco. La adiponectina modula diversos procesos fisiológicos, como el metabolismo de la GLUCOSA y de los ÁCIDOS GRASOS, así como las respuestas inmunitarias. La disminución de la concentración plasmática de adiponectina se asocia a RESISTENCIA A LA INSULINA, DIABETES MELLITUS DE TIPO 2, OBESIDAD y ATEROSCLEROSIS.

Scope note: 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.
