Fig. 8. Mechanism of action of adiponectin and UII. UII: urotensin II; GPR14: G protein-coupled receptor 14; PKC: protein kinase C; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-α; α-SMA: α-smooth muscle actin; AMPK: adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase; AdipoR: adiponectin receptor; fAd: full-length adiponectin; gAd: globular adiponectin; AFs: adventitial fibroblasts; HMW: high molecular weight.
