Adiponectin is beneficial agents for obesity, as they inhibit gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes, thus controlling the deposition of fat. It also modulates angiogenesis and endothelial function and plays a crucial role in metabolic disorders like insulin resistance through the AMPK pathway. It also has an anti-atherogenic and anti-thrombotic effect, and thus if used for therapeutic purposes, it can be beneficial for management and treatment of metabolic disorders. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is Other metabolic disease.
