Data

2002

Maeda et al. [24]

Delayed clearance of free fatty acids and increased plasma TNF-α in adiponectin KO mice

2006

Tsuchihashi et al. [59]

Rat CLP model shows that adiponectin negatively correlates with plasma endotoxin and TNF-α

2006

Pini et al. [61]

No significant difference in the inflammatory response generated by LPS and concanavalin A administration to wild-type and adiponectin KO mice

2008

Teoh et al. [60]

Mouse CLP and thioglycollate-induced peritonitis produces a reduction in survival of adiponectin KO mice

2008

Pini et al. [62]

Reduction in circulating adiponectin levels during acute inflammation secondary to zymosan-induced peritonitis in wild-type mice. Adiponectin does not appear to influence the inflammatory response

2009

Uji et al. [56]

Mouse CLP model showed adiponectin KO mice are more susceptible to polymicrobial sepsis; higher circulating endotoxin in adiponectin KO mice; PPAR-γ administration prior to CLP improved mortality in wild type, but not adiponectin KO mice

2009

Leuwer et al. [80]

Following injection of LPS in mice, adiponectin mRNA levels fell in white adipose tissue (epididymal, perirenal and subcutaneous), MCP-1 and IL-6 mRNA rose in all three depots and TNF-α mRNA rose in epididymal and perirenal sites

2010

Uji et al. [57]

Adiponectin KO and wild-type mice were subjected to CLP. KO mice showed higher circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and greater evidence of hepatic injury than wild-type mice

  1. CLP, caecal ligation and perforation; KO, knockout; LPS, lipopolysaccharidase; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor.
