In addition, adiponectin can ameliorate alcohol- and obesity-associated liver abnormalities, such as hepatomegaly and steatosis, by enhancing the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and oxidation of hepatic fatty acid, while decreasing the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase, two key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis [57]. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and Obesity.
