Background and aims: Adiponectin produced by visceral adipocytes is believed to be marker of insulin sensitivity. Glitazones (PPARγ agonists) induce adipocetin transcription and secretion. β3 agonists are potencial antiobesity drugs with lipolytic activity. We try to shed light on the relationship between PPARγ, β3 signaling, and adiponectin secretion.Methods: Epididymal rat adipocytes were isolated and cultivated together with trogli...
