THE TEACHING CONNECTION
Adiponectin connects fat tissue and metabolism
Adiponectin connects fat tissue and metabolism
ADIPOQ encodes adiponectin, a hormone released by fat tissue that participates in insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. Its name often appears in discussions of triglycerides, body composition and metabolic health.
Putting the pieces together
Dr. Purser connects this pathway with omega-3 intake and the quality of metabolic support. The useful comparison is between food intake, actual lipid and glucose results, and the person’s activity pattern. The note about fish oil is a support discussion, not a reason to take an excessive amount from a SNP result.
A question to bring to your visit
How do my triglycerides, glucose measures and dietary fat sources fit this pathway?
