AD-36



AD-36
Virus classification
Group: Group I (dsDNA)
Family: Adenoviridae
Genus: Mastadenovirus
Species: Human adenovirus D (HAdV-D)

Human adenovirus 36 (HAdV-36) or AD-36 is one of 51 types of adenoviruses known to infect humans. It was first shown to be associated with obesity in chickens by Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar.[1][2]

There has been a positive correlation between body fat and the presence of AD-36 antibodies in the blood[citation needed]. Previous research showed that chicken or mice injected with similar types of viruses show a statistically significant weight gain.[1]

To date, AD-36 is the only human adenovirus that has been linked with human obesity, present in 30% of obese humans and 11% of nonobese humans.[3] AD-36 also causes obesity in chickens, mice, rats, and monkeys.[3]

AD-36 infection can induce cellular differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and stem cells derived from human adipose tissue.[4]
