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.
