摘要
脂联素是由脂肪细胞特异性分泌的一种蛋白质,血浆中含量丰富,其浓度受肥胖、胰岛素抵抗、β肾上腺素能受体激动剂、腺苷酸环化酶激动剂、糖皮质激素影响。脂联素具有保持内皮功能稳态、抑制平滑肌细胞增殖及抗炎、抗动脉粥样硬化形成的特性,并与冠心病预后密切相关,脂联素受体激动剂及增敏剂将为冠心病的预防和治疗提供新的策略。
Adiponectin, a novel hormone made by fat tissue,is abundant in plasma. Plasma levels of adiponectin are associated with obesity,insulin resistance, β adrenergic receptor agonist, adenylate cyclase agonist, glucocorticoid. Adiponectin has properties of maintaining stable state of endothelium function and anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and the ability to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation. The decreased plasma adiponectin levels might be associated with the extent of coronary artery disease and be as an independent predictor of patho-genesis and severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Adiponectin receptor agonist and sensitizer may serve as an important object for physiological and pathophysiological studies seeking potential therapeutic applications.
