According to a new study on adiponectin and raspberry ketone, obesity may be treated by regulating the levels of a key hormone in the body.

Researchers at the University of Alberta have reported that a specific type of gene therapy involving Adiponectin and Raspberry Ketone can actually help fight obesity.

The study from The Journal of Nutrition & Diabetes concluded that adiponectin gene therapy ameliorates the metabolic abnormalities caused by feeding mice a HFHS diet.

This study concluded that it may be a potential therapeutic strategy to improve obesity mediated impairments in insulin sensitivity.

Adiponectin is secreted primarily from adipose tissue that can influence circulating glucose and lipid levels involving a variety of organs.
