Abstract: As an endogenous cytokine secreted from adipose tissue,adiponectin plays an importantly biological role in regulating energy homeostasis,glucose metabolism,fatty acid oxidation,anti-inflammatory,and development of insulin resistance via its receptor’s effects. In order to provide some theory basis and new ideas for molecular breeding in mammal. This review focuses on the structural characteristics,expression regulation and polymorphism of adiponectin and its receptors,on how to improve mammal’s growth and reproductive performance,and on how to reduce fat deposition in mammals and so on.

Key words: adiponectin, adiponectin receptor, expression regulation, polymorphism
