Background: Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP 38) is a neuropeptide with anti-inflammatory activity. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)/PACAP receptors are found in immune cells, endocrine glands and also in adipose tissue. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived protein hormone which possesses anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antiatherogenic properties. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of PACAP 38 on adiponectin release in basal conditions and during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute inflammation.
Methods: Male Wistar-Kyoto rats were divided into four groups which received intraperitoneal injections of 0.9% NaCl, LPS, PACAP 38 or LPS+PACAP 38, respectively. Serum adiponectin concentrations were measured using an ELISA test.
Results: LPS administration did not change adiponectin concentration; however, PACAP 38 administered alone decreased serum adiponectin concentration after 2 h (p<0.05) and 4 h (p<0.01). In the group that received LPS+PACAP38, compared with LPS alone, no difference in adiponectin concentration was observed.
Conclusions: We conclude that PACAP 38 may directly modulate adiponectin secretion by adipocytes in basal conditions.

Background: With the elevated level of NAFLD prevalence, the incidence of diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and other diseases is also significantly elevated. GLP-1RA can exert weight loss, glucose-lowering effects and various nonglycaemic effects. However, the relationship between quantitative reduction in hepatic fat content and improvement of pancreatic islet function by GLP-1RA is unclear.

Triglyceride (TG) and its derivatives tend to be decreased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients' blood when inflammation progresses. Aside from the role as a lipid buffer, white adipose tissue (WAT) contributes to this abnormality via adipokines, which regulate many metabolic signals. This work investigated adipokine-caused hepatic changes and their involvement in RA-related hypolipemia.

Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by organ dysfunction, resulting from an uncontrolled or abnormal immune response to infection, which leads to septicemia. It involves a disruption of immune homeostasis, marked by the release of Inflammatory factors and dysfunction of immune cells. Adiponectin is widely recognized as an anti-inflammatory mediator, playing a crucial role in regulating immune cell function and exerting protective effects on tissues and organs.

Bariatric surgery is effective for the treatment and remission of obesity and type 2 diabetes, but pharmacological approaches which exert similar metabolic adaptations are needed to avoid post-surgical complications. Here we show how G49, an oxyntomodulin (OXM) analog and dual glucagon/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GCGR/GLP-1R) agonist, triggers an inter-organ crosstalk between adipose tissue, pancreas, and liver which is initiated by a rapid release of free fatty acids (FFAs) by white adipose tissue (WAT) in a GCGR-dependent manner. This interactome leads to elevations in adiponectin and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), causing WAT beiging, brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation, increased energy expenditure (EE) and weight loss.

The adipose tissue surrounding blood vessels is known as perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), which represents a distinct ectopic fat depot that adheres to the majority of the vasculature. In recent years, owing to its unique location and function, PVAT has been regarded as a new type of adipose tissue distinct from traditional visceral fat. It releases adipokines with vasoconstrictive functions, which regulate vascular function through paracrine and endocrine mechanisms.
