2004 SEP 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Adiponectin may treat vascular disorders related to obesity.
"Obesity is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases that are associated with impaired angiogenesis. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific adipocytokine with anti-atherogenic and anti-diabetic properties, and its plasma levels are reduced in association with obesity-linked diseases. Here, we investigated whether adiponectin regulates angiogenesis in response to tissue ischemia using adiponectin knock-out (KO) mice," scientists in the United States report.
"Angiogenic repair of ischemic hind limbs was impaired in adiponectin-KO mice …
