K Rabe, M Lehrke, KG Parhofer, UC Broedl - Molecular Medicine, 2008 - pubmedcentral.nih.gov Obesity is associated with an array of health problems in adult and pediatric populations. Understanding
the pathogenesis of obesity and its metabolic sequelae has advanced rapidly over the past
decades. Adipose tissue represents an active endocrine organ that, in addition to ... Cited by 20 - Related articles - All 7 versions

of adiponectin are found to associate with obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and many other
human diseases. From animal experiments and human studies, adiponectin has been ... Cited by 17 - Related articles - All 3 versions
