Adiponectin mimetic.

Adiponectin mimetic

Muscle, heart, pancreas, liver, and adipocytes are key target tissues for adiponectin receptor activation. The small molecule AdipoRon has the potential to induce insulin sensitivity, as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects, in a wide range of tissues due to the widespread expression of adiponectin receptors.
