Abstract
⺠The function of vaspin, a novel adipocytokine, is unknown in vascular cells. ⺠In our study, vaspin prevented free fatty acid-induced apoptosis in endothelium. ⺠This effect was dependent on PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway. ⺠Our study is the first to demonstrate the beneficial role of vaspin in vascular cells.
