Q

Where is Adiptonectin Produced? How is it related to weight fluctuations, body comp, and inflammation/insulin?

A

Adiponectin is exclusively produced in the white adipose tissue; it is the most abundantly produced and secreted hormone from this tissue. Its levels increase in the setting of lower weight and decrease in the context of high body fat composition. Also, adiponectin levels are strongly inversely related to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance.

Q

Where are GLP-1 Receptors Found In Greatest Abundance?

A

GLP-1 receptors are widely distributed across various organs, however, the greatest density of GLP-1 receptors is found in the pancreatic islet β-cells, where GLP-1 exerts its primary glycemic effect by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon.
