Abstract | RATIONALE: OBJECTIVES: METHODS:
Adiponectin localization and dynamics in the lung were analyzed in an elastase-induced emphysema model. Next, the lung of adiponectin-knockout mice, extrapulmonary effects, and the underlying mechanism were investigated. Finally, we tested whether exogenous adiponectin could ameliorate the emphysematous change in adiponectin-knockout mice. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
