Characteristics of Adiponectin and Coronary Plaque – An Intravascular Ultrasound Study
Interventional Cardiology Reviews Research Resources2008Vol. 3(1), pp. 30–30
Abstract
Adiponectin (also known as APM1, Acrp 30, AdipoQ or GBP28) is a 30kD circulating plasma protein and is the most abundant adipokine secreted by adipose tissue. In humans, adiponectin accounts for approximately 0.01% of circulating plasma proteins.1 It is thought to have a unique spectrum of properties for an adipokine, many of which are anti-atherosclerotic, and is downregulated in the presence of increasing central adiposity.
