| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The expression of apoD in adipose tissue increased in the DIO mice compared with the wild type mice; on the other hand, the apoD expression decreased with the differentiation of 3T3L1 cells. Over-expression of apoD in mice resulted in the amelioration of insulin resistance, which was accompanied by the suppression of inflammatory cytokines. The LPS induced inflammation, examined in vivo and in vitro, was also suppressed with the abundant apoD protein. Two clinical cross-sectional studies revealed that plasma apoD level correlated negatively with the inflammatory cytokine levels and clinical data associated with insulin resistance, and positively associated with anti-inflammatory cytokine levels and clinical data associated with insulin sensitivity. Thus, we can propose that increased plasma apoD level would be a marker of anti-inflammatory condition and insulin sensitive state, and apoD protein might possess the function of suppressing inflammation and insulin resistance.
