Adiponectin: Starving for Attention
Abstract
Maintaining energy balance involves the dynamic control of appetite and energy expenditure. A new study from the Kadowaki laboratory (Kubota et al., 2007) shows that the adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin increases appetite and reduces energy expenditure by stimulating AMPK in the hypothalamus.
