> article discussing the endocrine action of fat. Talks about how fat tissue is sensitive to changes in AMP/ATP ratio, which in turn upregulates AMPk in fat tissue, eventually resulting in transcriptional changes that upregulate serum adiponectin levels.

> FOXO activation, a downstream product of AMPk in adipose tissue, upregulates adiponectin gene transcription and therefore adiponectin secretion

still a lot more to come. is anyone even interested?

Just to follow up.
