Article Abstract
Objective: Adiponectin receptors 1 and 2 (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2) are considered as candidate genes for type 2 diabetes because they mediate the metabolic effects of adiponectin on target tissues. We investigated whether common polymorphisms of ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 are associated with type 2 diabetes or its related phenotypes in Koreans.
Design And Patients: By sequencing of the DNA samples from 24 unrelated Korean subjects, we selected seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from ADIPOR1 and four SNPs from ADIPOR2 for genotyping in 757 type 2 diabetic patients and 644 nondiabetic subjects.
Results: None of the SNPs were associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, g.-7309A>G (rs75172865) in ADIPOR1 was associated with lower insulin resistance, measured by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Thereafter, we transfected three different human cell lines with plasmids harbouring g.-7309A>G and found that this variant reduced the promoter activity of ADIPOR1. In ADIPOR2, g.-63442G (novel SNP) and g.33447T (rs1044471) were associated with smaller waist circumference.
Conclusions: None of the SNPs in either ADIPOR1 or ADIPOR2 were associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in Koreans. However, the altered activity of the ADIPOR1 promoter was associated with insulin resistance and SNPs of ADIPOR2 were associated with waist circumference.

Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent sadness and loss of interest, and its etiology involves a condition known as hypoadiponectinemia, which is prevalent in depressive individuals compared with healthy individuals and causes neuroinflammation. The use of intact adiponectin protein to target neuroinflammation in depressive moods is complex due to the difficulties associated with using the intact protein. AdipoRon, a synthetic oral adiponectin receptor agonist that targets the AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 receptors for adiponectin, has emerged in this context.

Previous studies have indicated that impaired synaptic plasticity is a main pathological alteration in depression. However, the mechanism underlying this pathological change has not been clarified. Adiponectin, an adipokine, crosses the blood‒brain barrier to function in specific brain regions.

Intake of nutrients and water from diet to maintain life, a typical physiological function of gut, is highly dependent on the extensive immune network, whose imbalance is easy to induce inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Clinical strategies to completely cure IBD are poor, so it is urgent to develop novel drugs or targets. Adiponectin (APN), an adipokine from adipocytes, regulates energy metabolism and immune response.

Introduction: In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), immune cells become activated, resulting in a persistent pro-inflammatory milieu and contributing to the development of ALS. Adiponectin produces anti-inflammatory effects via its adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and adiponectin receptor 2 (AdipoR2). Currently, there has been limited research conducted on the correlation between adiponectin and inflammation in ALS.

Ovulatory failure in dairy cows can stem from various causes, including the formation of follicular cysts, which disrupt the estrous cycles and extend reproductive intervals, ultimately hindering herd management and reproductive performance. Reproductive dysfunctions are frequently associated with metabolic disorders, commonly observed in these animals. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate key components of lipid metabolism, primarily related to β-oxidation, including AdipoR1, AdipoR2, AMPK, PPARγ, ObR, ACC1, CPT1, and ACOX1 in ovary, as well as adiponectin, leptin, triglyceride (TG) and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations in plasma and follicular fluid of dairy cows with induced persistent follicles, spontaneous follicular cysts and dominant control follicles.
