Elucidating the effect of sex on the metabolic and vascular perturbations induced by the absence of adiponectin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Adiponectin is an abundant hormone secreted by adipocytes that exhibits anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. However, in obesity, as adipocytes enlarge, adiponectin secretion declines. A sex dimorphism is observed in adiponectin levels with women having higher levels than men. We hypothesized that a lack of adiponectin negatively affects both insulin sensitivity and adipose physiology in a sex-dependent manner. In this study, male and female adiponectin knockout or wild-type mice were fed with either a low fat or high fat diet. Male knockout animals were more glucose intolerant and had elevated fasting glucose levels. In contrast, both adiponectin knockout and wild-type females showed decreased hepatic lipid accumulation on a high fat diet. In both sexes, lean adiponectin knockout mice had significantly smaller fat depot weights and lesser hepatic lipid accumulation than the lean wild-type mice. However, on high fat diet, only male adiponectin knockout mice had fat depot weights that were comparable to wild-type mice, which indicate a novel sex-specific role of adiponectin in determining adiposity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
