1 Role of adiponectin in the protective action of dietary saturated fat against alcoholic fatty liver in mice. Fatty Acids adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Mus musculus
2 Circulating adiponectin levels were significantly elevated by chronic ethanol administration to mice consuming a diet high in saturated fat. Fatty Acids adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Mus musculus
3 The increase in circulating adiponectin was associated with the activation a set of hepatic signaling pathways mediated through AMP-activated protein kinase, PPAR-alpha, and PPAR-gamma coactivator alpha, which in turn led to markedly increased rates of fatty acid oxidation, prevention of hepatic steatosis, and alleviation of liver enzyme changes. Fatty Acids adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Mus musculus
4 Furthermore, treatment of rat 3T3-L1 adipocytes with saturated fatty acids (palmitic or stearic acids) in the presence of ethanol increased secretion of adiponectin and enhanced activity of a mouse adiponectin promoter. Fatty Acids adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Mus musculus
5 In conclusion, the protective action of saturated fat against the development of alcoholic fatty liver in mice is partially mediated through induction of adiponectin. Fatty Acids adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing Mus musculus
