Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on “Adiponectin and Its Receptor Interactions in Human Disease”.
Adiponectin is the most abundant adipocytokine. Through its receptors, it can mediate a variety of protective actions in various organs. Significantly, with increased adiposity, serum adiponectin levels fall and dysregulated inflammation and metabolism can ensue, and manifest as human disease. There is intense interest in targeting increases in adiponectin levels and signaling to alleviate disease.
Thus, for this Special Issue, we cordially invite authors in the field to submit original research or review articles pertaining to this important and fast-progressing field of biomedicine.
Dr. Lionel Hebbard
Guest Editor
