Outline of Final Research Achievements

Given that the action of adiponectin and its receptors (AdipoRs) is shown to become diminished with the onset of obesity leading to the onset of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. This research project has aimed to achieve new breakthroughs in AdipoR research through elucidation of novel mechanisms of action of AdipoR signal transduction and their biological implications in glucose/lipid metabolism as well as cell stress reduction. This promoted fundamental drug discovery research leading to the reduction of diabetic complications, such as dementia and atherosclerosis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

糖尿病と合併症は、世界で激増しており、その原因解明と予防法・治療法開発は、喫緊の課題である。糖尿病は、細小血管症(網膜症、腎症、神経障害)や大血管症に加え、認知症やがんなどとも密接な関連が明らかとなってきた。これら多彩な合併症によって、健康寿命が短縮している。従って、動脈硬化症、特に認知症などの糖尿病合併症の病態解明と効果的な治療法開発は、超高齢社会において重要な課題であり、本研究成果の学術的意義および社会的意義は高いと考えられる。
