Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Adiponectin accumulated onto the damaged vascular area such as atherosclerotic lesion and exhibited anti-atherosclerotic effect through T-cadherin. Adiponectin has been shown to bind a specific region of T-cadherin with a high affinity. Moreover, present study discovered a novel insight that adiponectin enhances exosome production via T-cadherin, suggesting the adiponectin/T-cadherin system plays a beneficial and protective role against cellular damages. We herein showed that GPI-PLD was a significant enzyme increasing hepatic DAG, finally causing insulin resistance, and hepatic GPI-PLD was increased in a diabetic condition. Our results suggest that GPI-PLD is a novel therapeutic target for diabetes.We showed that Favine promoted adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation in adipocytes. We further described the possibility that Favine modulated inflammation in vessels.
