Zusammenfassung
Background: The adipose tissue-derived cytokine adiponectin plays a major role in glucose metabolism. A family of adiponectin paralogs, designated as C1q/tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related proteins (CTRPs) and comprising 15 members, has recently been discovered. While independent CTRP receptors have not been identified so far, the adiponectin receptor AdipoR1 has been suggested to be involved in CTRP signaling. However, there are no data on CTRP effects on glucose metabolism in cardiomyocytes available so far. Results: Glucose uptake and translocation of the insulin-dependent glucose transporter GLUT-4 was sign…
