Summary

Adiponectin has been known to play critical roles in various physio-regulatory processes, and adiponectin deficiency may contribute to insulin resistance. (PEG)-BHD1028 was developed as an agonist of adiponectin receptors. This first-in-human study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of (PEG)-BHD1028 in healthy overweight/obese subjects with insulin resistance.
