Research Abstract |
The adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin has been proposed to play the central roles as antidiabetic and antiatherogenic adipokine. However, whether adiponectin receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 have the protective roles against atherosclerosis in vivo are still undetermined.Therefore, in this study we investigated the in vivo roles of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 on atherosclerosis using conventional or tissue-specific AdipoR1 and/or AdipoR2 knockout or transgenic mice as well as transplantation of bone marrow from AdipoR knockout mice. This study provides the direct evidence that AdipoR2 in endothelial cells and AdipoR1 in macrophages play protective roles against atherosclerosis in vivo.
