1. A method of upregulating the expression of an Adiponectin (ADIPOR2) polynucleotide having SEQ NO:
- 2 in patient cells or tissues in vivo or in vitro comprising;
contacting said cells or tissues with at least one antisense oligonucleotide 10 to 30 nucleotides in length wherein said at least one oligonucleotide has at least 95% sequence identity to a reverse complement of a polynucleotide comprising 10 to 30 consecutive nucleotides within nucleotides 1 to 194 of SEQ ID NO;
6;
thereby upregulating the expression of the Adiponectin (ADIPOR2) polynucleotide in patient cells or tissues in vivo or in vitro.

Abstract
The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of an Adiponectin (ADIPOQ), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of an Adiponectin (ADIPOQ). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of Adiponectins (ADIPOQ)s.
