Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The C1q/TNF-related protein (CTRP) family represents a growing family of adiponectin paralogous proteins. CTRP-5 was detected in adipose tissue of mice and plays a role in the context of the metabolic syndrome. It was the aim to investigate the detailed expression profile of CTRP-5 in a variety of adipocytic cells and to determine whether CTRP-5 circulates in human serum. Moreover, regulation...
