Research progress of adiponectin in nervous system diseases
Adiponectin is a plasma protein derived from fat cells that regulates a variety of metabolic processes.With the increasing research of adiponectin in nervous system diseases,it is gradually found that adiponectin plays a role in the control of key processes in brain physiology,including neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity,neuroprotection,neurogenesis and regulation of glial cell activation.This article reviews the research progress of adiponectin in neurodegenerative diseases,convulsive diseases,ischemic brain injury and other neurological diseases.
