| Abstract |
Adiponectin is a key molecule whose upregulation may ameliorate symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus and disorders of lipid metabolism. Several plant-derived components have been shown to enhance adiponectin secretion; however, there have been no reports on the effects of animal-derived products. Therefore, in the current study, we investigated whether hot-water extracts of specific livestock by-products induce the expression of adiponectin in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Out of the 11 extracts tested, pig testis extract (PTE) was found to enhance adiponectin expression and secretion by 3T3-L1 cells. Furthermore, simultaneous treatment with PTE and daidzein, a soy phytoestrogen, synergistically enhanced adiponectin secretion. Moreover, pretreatment with an estrogen receptor β antagonist (PHTPP) diminished adiponectin secretion from daidzein-treated cells but not from PTE-treated cells. Transcriptome analyses revealed that both daidzein and PTE regulate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathway, although differences in the regulation of gene expression were observed between PTE- and daidzein-treated cells. These results suggest that PTE ameliorates lipid metabolic dysfunction by promoting adipocyte differentiation and enhancing adiponectin secretion via a mechanism different from that of daidzein. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 March 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Methods in Cell Science
#908
of 1,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#305,166
of 345,388 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in Cell Science
#10
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,026 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 345,388 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
