From the The adipocyte-derived hormone
adiponectin has been proposed to play important roles in the regulation
of energy homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, and it has been reported
to exhibit putative antiatherogenic properties in vitro. In
this study we generated adiponectin-deficient mice to directly
investigate whether adiponectin has a physiological protective role
against diabetes and atherosclerosis in vivo. Heterozygous
adiponectin-deficient (adipo+/

) mice showed
mild insulin resistance, while homozygous adiponectin-deficient (adipo
/
) mice showed moderate insulin
resistance with glucose intolerance despite body weight gain similar to
that of wild-type mice. Moreover, adipo
/
mice showed 2-fold more neointimal formation in response to external vascular cuff injury than wild-type mice (p = 0.01).
This study provides the first direct evidence that adiponectin plays a
protective role against insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in
vivo.
