Can adiponectin have an additional effect on the regulation of food intake by inducing gastric motor changes?

Figure 1 Simplified scheme summarizing some of the main adiponectin central and peripheral effects and the related receptors involved. The scheme is based on the current knowledge and illustrates our hypothesis (orange arrow) concerning an additional peripheral mechanism through which adiponectin may influence food intake at the central level. The receptor that seems to be mostly activated for the related effect is indicated in bold. ¹indicates controversial results.
