The hair growth promoting effects of adiponectin in vitro Free Papers

Abstract

Adipose tissue is no longer considered an inert energy storage organ but is involved in active regulation of physiologic and pathologic processes. Adipose tissue produces and releases a variety of factors (adipokines), including adiponectin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adiponectin, one of well known adipokines, on human HFs in vitro.
