Adiponectin increases secretion of rat submandibular gland via adiponectin receptors-mediated AMPK signaling.
Adiponectin and adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1/2) are expressed in various tissues and are involved in the regulation of multiple functions such as energy metabolism and inflammatory responses. However, the effect of adiponectin and AdipoRs in submandibular glands has not been fully evaluated. In th...
