Adropin is a 43-amino acid peptide that is highly conserved among mammals. First identified in the mouse liver in 2008, adropin is broadly expressed throughout the body and has been implicated in various pathological conditions, including obesity, altered food intake, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and other disorders related to energy metabolism. However, its precise physiological role remains unclear. In this study, we developed a specific competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assa
