ad·i·po·nec·tin

(ăd′ə-pə-nĕk′tĭn)

A polypeptide hormone that is secreted by fat cells and regulates glucose and lipid metabolism, especially by increasing insulin sensitivity and muscle uptake of glucose and by decreasing glucose production in the liver.

[Latin adeps, adip-, fat + Latin nectere, to bind; see ned- in Indo-European roots + -in.]

To validate the results of differentially expressed genes in transcriptome sequencing, leptin (Lep), ghrelin (Ghr), insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1), and adinopectin (Adipoq) genes were selected because they were differentially expressed in each diet group.

Using HExpoCHem, PCB 126 was associated, though not statistically significantly, with insulin sensitivity via a protein complex of ADIPOQ (p > 0.05), and with arterial hypertension via a protein complex of AGTR1 and another complex of NOS3 (both p > 0.05).
