Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We elucidated that adrenomedullin (AM) which is biologically active peptide controls adipocyte differentiation and energy metabolism so far. Whereas adrenomedullin 2 (AM2) has effects similar to AM in the cardiovascular regulation, but the role in the metabolic regulation is not clear. In this study, we established AM2 knockout mice (AM2-/-) to elucidate functional differentiation and interaction of AM and AM2 in the metabolic regulation and analyzed pathophysiological significance in the metabolic syndrome. We showed the possibility that AM2 was involved in energy metabolic regulation similar to AM.
