Abstract

The Adiponectin, an adipocytokine, is a plasma protein produced and secreted exclusively by adipose tissues. Adiponectin has important effects on angiocardiopathy, obesity and type 2 diabetes. In addition, adiponectin has certain roles in inflammation and hematopoiesis. Primarily results from adiponectin treatment of type 2 diabetes and some metabolism diseases suggest that adiponectin may serve as a potential and novel medicine.
