| Research Abstract |
The metabolic syndrome, which is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is associated with visceral fat accumulation and insulin resistance. In this study, to identify newly endogenous factors that improve insulin resistance in liver, we developed the new assay systems and identified the insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-2) from the adipose tissues.
