Upregulation of UCP2 by adiponectin: the involvement of mitochondrial superoxide and hnRNP K.

The adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin elicits protective functions against fatty liver diseases and hepatic injuries at least in part by stimulating the expression of a mitochondrial inner membrane transporter, uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2). The present study was designed to investigate the cellul...
