Research Abstract |
To investigate the physiological role of Adipo and Res in the postmenopausal, estrogen-deficient state, we studied the chronic in vivo effect of Adipo and Res on insulin sensitivity in young ovariectomized female Wistar rats. Estrogen-deficient state had significantly increased body weight and decreased insulin sensitivity. Adiponectin improves the estrogen deficiency induced insulin resistance, whereas resistin exacerbates the estrogen deficiency induced insulin resistance. Furthermore, we found that AMPK is a key molecule player in muscle and liver. These results that the insulin resistance has been involved in the incidence of diabetes increases as women age, especially after menopause.
