Abstract
Asprosin, the C-terminal pro-fibrillin-1 propeptide is described as white adipose tissue derived hormone that stimulates hepatic glucose release and activates hunger-promoting hypothalamic neurons. Currently, there is only limited knowledge about the mechanisms controlling the bioavailability of asprosin in tissues. In this thesis several aspects about the biochemical characteristics and detection of asprosin have been elucidated.

| Translated abstract: | Abstract Language Asprosin, das C-terminale Pro-Fibrillin-1 Propeptid, wurde vor kurzem als ein aus dem weißen Fettgewebe stammendes Hormon beschrieben, das die hepatische Glukosefreisetzung anregt und die hungerfördernden Neuronen des Hypothalamus aktiviert. Derzeit gibt es nur begrenzte Kenntnisse über die Mechanismen, welche die Bioverfügbarkeit von Asprosin im Gewebe steuern. In dieser Arbeit wurden die biochemischen Eigenschaften und neue Methoden des Nachweises von Asprosin untersucht. German |
