We studied the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the differentiation of adipocyte precursor cells obtained from human adipose tissue and cultured in a serum-free hormone-supplemented medium.

Addition of ET-1 to newly developed fat cells also caused a suppression of GPDH activity without changing adipocyte morphology.

This study was designed to examine the association between adiponectin and C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and endothelin-1, (ET-1) and their possible role in prediction of type-2 diabetes and development of diabetes and macrovascular complications.

Adiponectin was found to be decreased in newly diagnosed diabetics (6.64 +/- 2.3 microg/ml), OMI (4.7 +/- 1.05 microg/ml) and AMI (4.23 +/- 0.73 microg/ml) when compared to controls (9.81 +/- 2.2 microg/ml), whereas CRP, IL- 6 and ET-1 were significantly elevated in AMI (18.6 +/- 5.3 mg/l, 12.6 +/- 4.2 pg/ml and 36.8 +/- 10.4 fmol/ml, respectively).

Adiponectin correlated negatively with CRP, IL-6 and ET-1, BMI and HbA1c, whereas inflammatory and vascular markers correlated positively with each other and with BMI and HbA1c.

Adiponectin alone had no observable vascular activity; however, adiponectin pretreatment and coinfusion inhibited the increase in perfusion pressure and associated metabolic stimulation caused by low-dose (1 nM) ET-1.

This is in contrast to the NO donor sodium nitroprusside, which significantly reduced the pressure due to established ET-1 vasoconstriction, suggesting dissociation of the actions of adiponectin and NO.

In addition, adiponectin had no effect on vasoconstriction caused by either high-dose (20 nM) ET-1 or low-dose (50 nM) norepinephrine.

Our findings suggest that adiponectin has specific, apparently NO-independent, vascular activity to oppose the vasoconstrictor effects of ET-1.
