Cardioprotective properties of omentin-1 in type 2 diabetes: evidence from clinical and in vitro studies.

Cardioprotective properties of omentin-1 in type 2 diabetes: evidence from clinical and in vitro studies.

CONTEXT: Adipokines are linked to the development of cardiovascular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (DM2).
