Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Adrenomedullin(AM) is a vasodilatory peptide, which possess various bioactivities. AM and receptor activity-modifying protein 2 (RAMP2) are highly expresses in adipose tissues. In this study, to clarify the pathophysiological roles of AM-RAMP2 system in adipose tissues, we analyzed adipocyte-specific RAMP2 knockout mice. We showed that AM-RAMP2 system regulates energy metabolism and adipocyte differentiation between white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue.
